The special aroma of hickory nut gives this tobacco a mild, balanced taste. This pipe tobacco consists from golden yellow Virginia tobaccos, black cavendish and the addition of a mature burley.

This one, together with Kentucky Flowers, used to be a nice introduction to smokey-aromatic sweet blends. Most of what Larsen does is top quality. This one is not an exception. As far as I know, this one could be out of production. Haven't seen it or heard from it in a long time.
Nice, comfy aromatic, not in an artificial-goopy-chemical sense, but in that very discrete topping tradition of Danish blenders. Again: a perfect tobacco for those wanting to pick up a pipe for the first time, or as a nice change of pace for those who don't mind lighter fare.

The gold Virginia cavendish offers some tart and tangy citrus, vegetative grass, bread, sugar, floralness, sour lemon, mild spice, and a touch of acidity as the lead component. The matured burley provides a fair amount of earth, wood, nuts, cocoa, and toast as a supporting player. The sugary black cavendish is a couple of steps behind the burley. The smoky, woody, earthy hickory nut topping moderately tones down the tobaccos. The strength and taste levels are medium. The nic-hit is step behind that mark. Won’ bite or get harsh. Has a few small rough notes. Burns clean and a tad warm with a very consistent smoky, nutty, fruity, sweet, lightly sour flavor that translates to the fairly pleasantly lingering after taste. The room note is a little stronger. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a couple more than an average number of relights. Not quite an all day smoke. Two stars.

Nice Stuff. What to say? Smoked it from a corn cob pipe.
Tastes like a solid mix of Virginias and chocolate... I mean burley... Well... Too intense to just originate from burley. Compared to unflavored tobaccos, this one has quite some topping on it. Well, nevertheless: I like it. Although it should be noted that there is surely some sens sweetness added by my corn pipe.
Pipe Used: corn cob
