Peter Stokkebye - Natural Dutch Cavendish.
In the pouch: well rubbed, fairly uniform, medium brown, ribbons. There's not much of aroma, there's a slightly sharp sweetness, but nothing exactly potent. The moisture of this pouch was good when it arrived.
At first, the leading flavour, to me, is the sweet Cavendish. It takes until the burn's settled for a sort of lemony sharpness to be introduced. This breathes life into the smoke, and doesn't allow it to taste lazy. The Burley fills the smoke out, with its no-nonsense nutty character. The burn from N.D.C. is exemplary in its consistency, but in my opinion could do with being much cooler.
The room-note's pleasant enough, but not exactly my thing, and the nicotine's mild to medium.
Because of a few things, mainly the heat, I'll only somewhat recommend this:
Two stars.

I sometimes purchase a tobacco due to its name. Natural Dutch Cavendish (No. 301) sounds like the Indies, old sailing ships and the sea. Some say this is similar to Amphora which was one of my first tobaccos to smoke but it has been so long I do not remember. I like it, but my palate has been jaded for so long with strong coffee, strong tobacco that of course this comes across extremely mild which is fine and the way it should be. Smokes fast with a little nuttiness and natural flavor. It is a simple smoke that is a great change of pace. Rating pipe tobacco for me is hard, I do not always notice the exotic fruits, nuts and berries that reminds me more of a wine review from others than a pipe tobacco. It is a good basic 'natural tobacco'.

I seem to be fond of most Danish tobaccos, so I had a brain fart and gave this one a go, when I saw the keyword 'Dutch'.
It gives off a light, whole grain - Virginia hay aroma, has a nice dry, thin ribbon texture, and is presented as an approachable all day smoker. For being listed a Cavendish blend, it sure seems Burley. Once lit, you get a mild and clean smoke without any fanfare.
I'd say it was pretty boring, but I could see wanting it on days when you just want some plain toast (without any butter mind you), or you need to mix this into another blend to tame it down and extend it.

Has a slight sweet smell from the pouch. Bought this bulk and it came in a zip lock back. Wasn't too moist out of the bag but I still let it dry some prior to packing. The best part of the bowl for me was the first 1/3rd. Room note was pleasant but definitely not an aromatic. Taste was mellow and occasional sweet notes popping in and note. As I worked my way down things started tasting sour and despite smoking with a filter and sipping slowly I was getting some bite. I think there is something in this tobacco that doesn't agree with my tongue. Then again this isn't top shelf stuff so...... This was last year, I recently tried this again after it's aged some. Similar results. This could be a really good smoke but unfortunately this one isn't for me.

This is something unusual nowadays - a basic, ordinary tobacco without any frills. No added flavorings, no complex blending - just straightforward smoking tobacco with a solid tobacco taste and smell. Burns okay, perhaps slightly hot, but no noticeable tongue bite. Seems to burn quite dry. Unfortunately the taste can be bitter, probably indicating the inexpensive plain tobacco.
So - nothing special to write about, except for the fact that this is quite a bargain offered at a very attractive price, as I suppose one should expect for what is a basic ordinary product.
For those looking for a solid, basic smoking tobacco, this one will probably fit the bill. Deserves a couple of stars for function and price. Recommended on the basis that it delivers a basic smoking experience with genuine 'old world' tobacco tastes and smells at a great price, although sometimes the taste can be slightly bitter.
