Please Note: I am trying to work off my back log of tobaccos i have tried years and years ago. In most cases i have no clue anymore when. Or who produced it back in the day. Also my memories are faded by time and those reviews are based mostly on my notes but sometimes i have a current tin for comparison as well:
This is one of the tobaccos that seemed to be tossed around from producer to producer and has been changed substantially during the process. Initially it was produced by Murray's, then it went over to Planta and now is produced by Stanwell. The Murray's version may have been unflavoured, i have never had that version. But the Planta version already had some wine and fruit aroma to it. In the tin as well as in the smoke. This flavouring got even stronger in the Stanwell version and some spice was added maybe like that of hot wine punch.
So the current version seems to be rather heavily flavoured.
Smoking properties are good and even. The taste is as mentioned before of some undefined sweet, wine, fruit note with some underlined spices. I cannot make out alot of the tobaccos in this blend, which is a shame after all the fuzz they made about the origin of said tobaccos.
The room note is nice and on the lingering side.
Do i recommend this blend? Yes, if you are curious about it and / or nothing else is available then go for it, its not a bad tobacco but in my opinion nothing special either. Since i have nothing bad to say about it, but its not something i would ever buy again i think a 3 star rating is fair if you like aromatics.

I tend to find the previous reviews rather negative about that blend. Nice liquorice aroma in the pouch. Rather nice smoke. Much improved in a large bowl. May bite the tongue a little if smoked too quickly. An interesting blend, worth to be tried.

Ah well, when I lighted up my first bowl I said to myself "THIS IS LIKE DAN's SWEET VANILLA HONEYDEW" ! And in fact, honey is very well dominant in the puffs. Sweet room aroma, and a pleasant smoke for a very reasonable price. If you like aromatics, this is good. It's all about honey, here, with a small note of rum in the background, and maybe some vanilla. But honey dominates. When I buy danish mixtures I normally can smoke a bowl, and then forget it for a day or two. But with the Indian, I could smoke 3 bowls in a row and still be quite happy! It is an aromatic, and in my opinion all aromatics are just a matter of preference. So I can recommend it, 3 stars for the good price, an honest aromatic not disappointing me.

This was among the first blends I had smoked back in the mid 90s when started with pipe smoking. I was fascintated by the tin art and the wide cut and colour of the tobacco, and that typical smell. Now whith all my knowlegde, I know that this smell isn´t so one of a kind. It is an aromatic by all means, but in the british tradtion of soapy and citrus like blends. Lakelanders should give it a try.
