Stanwell Jubilee
(2.61)
This blend has been created by my experts with more than four generations of experience from one of their oldest family recipes. Only the finest Virginia and burley leaves - stored for more than three years in the original hogsheads have been used. To unite the fine aromas and ensure extra mildness the blend has been fermented in the original factory sweat rooms for several months. Finally I have added only a small amount of the famous dark fired Kentucky and Oriental tobaccos to give you a perfection in smoking pleasure. Hand blended.

The presentation here is very Stanwell. That is to say, a ribbon of medium to light brown with typical, though toned down, Stanwell fruitiness. There is also a slight cake-like aroma, presumably the effect of that Scandi fruit topping on the Oriental and Kentucky. Jubilee arrives relatively dry and is ready to smoke right out of the newly opened tin.
The expected fruit flavors are subtly toned down in the charring and true lights and I immediately made note of the fuller mouthfeel in Jubilee as compared to its brethren. There is definite tobacco taste here, making Jubilee a Scandi blend for those who don't like Scandi blends. I would imagine, however, that makes for a limited audience. There may not be enough overt fruit here for the true lover of Danish aromatics, probably too dry for the American aromatic smoker, and there isn't quite enough tobacco flavor here to be a crossover aromatic. That said, if I could choose only one Stanwell blend to smoke, this would be the one.
The burn is slow and relatively cool for this style of tobacco. No bite, which puts it a league of its own for this style. Room note is pleasant. Overall a nice blend and definitely three star territory for the right smoker. I like this blend, but can think of a number of richer aromatics and crossovers I would smoke with company in the living room. Recommended for the occasional pipe smoker, but likely won't have enough body for the frequent smoker or enough flavor for the aromatic lover. Defines a very interesting niche within the Danish grouping.

This came by accident -was ordering McCelland's Jubilee, but I like aromatics just fine so I cellared it for a 18 months and had at it, Tin note is a deeper version of a Sunset Breeze except here the natural tobys take precedence over the casing-vanilla (that is not nougat -like) some hint of licorice or anise perhaps?
This tobacco seems Burley- forward to my tastes, but it has some fleeting wisps of sweetness initially but unfortunately so, as I find this blend struggling to decide if it's a Dark Kentucky or an aromatic. It burns very hot, so certain billiard shapes didn't work well as there is no place for gloves in this climate at this time of year.

It's a classic Danish tobacco.. Though it has all the advantages of the Stanwell tobaccos (no moisture, burns to the end, no tongue bites, smooth burning) the burning aroma is very neutral... I prefer aromatics because I can harldy stand the english blend aroma and this one is a good choice to the everyday smoking when you are about to change the taste of the day. But again, nothing special as it happens exactly with Stanwell's: Classic, Black Diamond and Fruit and Vanilla...

I had modest hopes of this blend. It has a lot of tobaccos that I like in it but was cased with something that while detracts from the natural tobacco taste it does not mask it completely. The tobacco was entirely too wet when purchased so I put some in a pipe and let it rest for a day. When I got back to it I found a blend that was not soaking wet and somewhat pleasant to smoke. I did notice some sugary casing but it was not the in your face Aromatic junk that comes tinned from Europe. There is still a slight tang from the oriental tobacco and the burly seems to be of modest quality. The downside of a burly/aromatic blend, which this blend really is, by the last third of the bowl there is some bitterness and soapy taste. The big upside is, this this blend has the "my grandpa smoked something that smelled like this" effect of the female species. That is always a good thing.

This has got to be the mildest blend I've ever smoked. It smells and tastes like what should just be called Danish Blend. I can't fully put my finger on what's in there. It just tastes like a very mild version of other aromatic Danish tobaccos.
The tobaccos used are very distinctly ribbons of bright and black. But in no way would I recognize that there's a Kentucky in there, nor Balkan leafs or any of that sort. While the contents point towards a somewhat complex blend, I only get an extremely mild one-note taste with just a bit of sweet flavor.
It looks tasty and smells pretty good from the tin, and it's a Stanwell. But it's so mild that I didn't even notice when my pipe went out. I have a feeling that this one should be used to blend with something else.
Now, it's not a bad blend and I can't give it one star. I pick it up from time to time and have minimal enjoyment. But it's not a particularly good blend either. Therefore, 2 stars.

Jubilee is much more of an aromatic than I thought it would be. With all of the condiment tobaccos listed in descriptions. I get a lot of citrus which really does me no good. The tobacco itself seems to be of passable quality in a smaller shag or ribbon cut. but the witch's brew of aromatic casings combined with the several different tobacco types was too much for this simpleton burley smoker. Burns a bit hot too, if you aren't careful about it.

A classic Danish tobacco that resembles a lot of tobaccos of this type. My friend Perris suggested it to me and I bought it in Germany from the KaDeWe shop in Berlin. I wasn' t thrilled; furthermore it caused some tongue biting. It is a light tobacco with an average aroma, flat taste and it gives off a nice scent in the room.
What does it contain??? This is a good question and a riddle at the same time. Virginia, Black Cavendish. I couldnt distinguish the perfumes.
