This mixture owes its distinctive aroma to a luxurious blend of black cavendish tobaccos and the interesting contrast of Virginian ribbon cut. This is an exceptionally smooth blend, which burns evenly.

The Virginia is grassy and citrus sweet. The black cavendish has a mild vanilla note, and there’s more of it than there is of the Virginia. The toppings are mildly applied, but tone down the Virginia a bit. The vanilla topping is a little more noticeable than the caramel. I notice very slight cocoa hit at times. Has virtually no nic-hit. Burns at a slow to moderate pace, very cool, clean, and silky, creamy smooth with a consistent flavor from start to finish. The toppings don’t weaken, it never gets harsh and there’s no chance of bite. Requires a few relights as the tobacco is a little moist, but I saw no need to dry it. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but no dottle. Has a mild and sweet after taste and room note. Won’t wear your taste buds out in repeat performances.

This is a nice aromatic blend.i smoked it several times.when you open it you get a mix aroma of vanilla with less caramel and some citrus.it seems a bit moist but you don't need to dry it out.as you smoke it it might burn a bit but never bit me!as you smoke it you realize that from the beggining till the end it has the same behaviour and the aromas are there till the end.it is a medium nic and i smoke it after launch.for some it might be an all day blend too.if you wanna try a davidoff aromatic this is your blend i ensure you!

One of my favorites, never before I have smoked an aromatic to be so mild and sweet ! Pros. Extremely pleasant in every aspect; cool burning, wonderful taste and aroma. No tongue bite,in fact a soft and mellow palate hours after the smoke, doubles the pleasure you get from this fantastic tobacco. Cons. High price A benchmark for mild aromatics,for sure !

A nice aromatic from Davidoff, rather satisfactory as some of their blends may not raise to the expectations one has to the name of the brand.
Pleasant smoke. The aromatic touch is discreet, lightly vanilla and caramel. To be tried by smokers used to aromatics and although by the other ones who may want to have a try.

I bought this tin of tobacco looking for a sweet aromatic, something with not just plain old vanilla flavoring. I was looking for Peterson's Sweet Killarney but the tobacco shop was out of stock. The Davidoff mixtures caught my eye and I came to tobaccoreviews.com for information.
Smoking this blend the very first time there was no real room note nor was there a sweet or tobacco taste, Is smoked three bowls with the same result and decided to put it in a mason jar and leave it for a better days to come.
So 2 days back my girlfriend and I were heading to her parents place and I asked her to just grab me a pipe and some tobacco. (I was running late). In the car I saw that she grabbed Red Mixture, I was not in the mood for an aromatic but kept quiet as I was the reason we were running late and it was Christmas eve. I took some tobacco out of the jar to put in the pouch and left the zipper of the pouch open just so that it can dry a bit.
30 minutes later I stuffed the pipe with the moderately but still moist tobacco. On the charring light the tobacco came alive and the room note was sweet, like really sweet but the smoke was tasty, slightly sweet with tobacco undertones. I know they say aromatics do not age but this one really came life after approximately 7 weeks. There was no tongue bite.
Will I buy it again? I seriously might, It is not an everyday tobacco as it is too sweet but it was tasty. I am kind of in the middle of the road here but the tobacco quality is good and it really did transform to a high quality aromatic so I will recommend it to someone looking for a bite-less aromatic.

A lovely, creamy, sweet, and cool smoke indeed. perfect with a morning tea or coffee. It doesn't have any tongue bite that I know off, and you can feel the quality of the Virginia they used. A definite blend to keep in my rotation. I knocked off a star for its price. a 50g tin costs 19$ where i live

Two of my favorite casings are added to Davidoff Red (Caramel and Vanilla). It's a very sweet smoke, obviously, but not so sweet that you can't taste the tobacco (but you will have to search for it). The great news is that this is quality tobacco and the Virginia element adds to the presentation of the sweetened Black Cavendish. If you enjoy aromatics, this might be your manna from heaven.

Burns smooth and cool, albeit very mild in all respects. Slight flavoring goes fairly well with the base tobacco. Sometimes get a caramel-like note from the background flavor that hints of vanilla. Takes to the light easily, and burns clean. 2 stars for what it offers.

The Duty Free store at Changi Airport in Singapore only offers Davidoff brand of pipe tobaccos. I was in transit there a while ago and I quickly read up on Tobacco Reviews of the Davidoff range. This blend came up with good comments. When I got home and gave it a try I was not disappointed. Big thanks to all here on this forum for their contributions.
It is a mild and mellow mixture, low on nicotine, forgiving to seasonal humidity changes and not prone to bite. Absence of Burley makes it light and somewhat plain, but still satisfying. Virginia and Black Cavendish combine well, although perhaps the Cavendish is unnecessarily allowed to overpower Virginia. The gentle vanilla flavouring is kept to a bare minimum. Burns well with minimum or no relighting, leaves fine ash, no bitter aftertaste towards the end of the bowl. Room note is pleasant and attracted good comments from those in the next room. Recommended.

Being an avid Virgina and English smoker I was apprehensive but still picked this up at the recommendation of the sales person at the Davidoff store in Manhattan.
I have to say I was surprised. I have been around the block with aromatics and have stayed away from them due to the bite and just sheer annoyance in trying to nurse them without bite.
This particular offering had a great burn with no bite and was very pleasant to smoke.
Great breakfast or before bed smoke.

[Edit: having tried this again after a week, it smokes much better than before and I am becoming more familiar with the mild aromatic - the aroma is OK; nevertheless, I will not pick this one up again.]
Davidoff cigars are my favourite non-Cubans. I expected this tobacco to be of the highest quality. It was an expensive tin. Unfortunately, this one is flat and I smoke it reluctantly.
The tobacco itself is a beautiful dark and pale ribbon blend with a prune nose and hints of the vanilla and caramel flavourings. While many aromatics are mild to the taste and present a nice aroma, upon lighting this blend is flavourless and presents no lasting aroma that I can detect.
It may be that I am naturally more suited to the stronger blends, but I did expect at least a hint of flavour in the tobacco itself and an aroma beyond light nuttiness. The aftertaste is not so bad, although I did find the tobacco biting at times and requiring constant relighting.

This was gifted to me, I would never buy an aromatic tobacco such as this. I was interested to try it though in order to understand what it is people like in these aromatic mixtures.
I've read many a review talking about the grassy flavours of the Virginia and the sweetness of the Cavendish... but honestly I can't taste anything except caramel flavoring and it leaves a strange furry feeling on my tongue. I cannot taste tobacco.

Davidoff - Red Mixture.
What a great aroma from the mix, a clear Vanilla aroma with a slight hint of Coffee. There is more Black Cav' than Virginia, probably about 65% Black Cav' to 35% Virginia so with the aromatics aside I figure that this is going to be a sweet/creamy blend.
The mixture needs no airing so I fill and light it straight away and upon the moment it's lit the word relaxation springs to mind! This is without a doubt a blend to unwind with, being cool, smooth, creamy and flavoursome. With many blends containing vanilla the tobacco tastes can often be too imperious and cover the mellow vanilla but in Red Mix' there is none of this business at all, as noticeable as the black Cavendish's sweetness is my attempts to discern any additives are imminently acquiesced with a pure and full hit of vanilla, a beautiful addition! The Nicotine is not at all strong in Red' so for anyone who likes to smoke for flavour only without "N" impeding on the pleasure this would be a superb blend! If I were to re-name this then I would call it 'Davidoff Smooth'!
This is a definite four star blend that definitely belongs with a good book and a tasty Liqueur!

Oh my! While often quite disappointed by aromatics- this is a very very good one! If you are looking for a Nic-Kick, this isnt. But the nutty, mellow aroma is so pleasant that you have to try it. Virginias, Burley an a generous amount of BC made it also a nice eyecatcher. Im a Davidoff Fan in general but this one is on my top 3 List(besides Danish and Flake Medaillons). No tongue bite- even if smoked harsh. And I was told the roomnote is extremely pleasant!

It's an aromatic tobacco by Davidoff. In the mild and very mild range of tobaccos the Red Mixture is extremely recommended.
Nice aroma, regular burning (though I've noticed the temperature slightly higher than normal) and wonderful taste.
What is quite astonishing in this tobacco is the first smell after you've just opened the tin... extremely pleasant. And after lit, although with a different scent, it keeps a wonderful aroma (even my wife who doesn't like lit tobacco enjoys the room smell kept by this blend).
Very appropriate to be the first pipe tobacco, mainly if the rookie is not a cigarette smoker (due to its aromatic profile and mildness). Almost no tongue bite for an aromatic.
It was my first purchase and I have no regrets. Goog choice for the summer (or if you live in a tropical country like me).
Nowadays Davidoff's Red Mixture is not my favourite tobacco any longer but it still fills some bowls up quite often... Totally recommended considering its characteristics! The only drawback would be the price, quite high for a 50g tin.

Another solid blend by Davidoff. A nice Virginia grassy note, followed by cocoa and a hint of vanilla. Stronger than the Blue, yet mild-medium in flavor. Consistent throughout the tin, and a very cool smoke, no bite. It is not overly cased, and the blend holds well. I have not aged this blend which I do with my VaPer and English blends. I find this smooth and a good smoke with a pleasant room note.

On a cold, gentle and lazy morning; this blend was a great companion.
I could detect high quality components, a characteristic of Davidoff. A very sweet experience, the vanilla and caramel toppings are present during the whole smoke; it could get cloying though.
This blend is very light on complexity and strength. Recommended for pipe smokers who are starting because the flavours are easy to get.
Aging has added intensity to its sweetness and a gentle leathery taste.
It smokes evenly just needs one relight.

Originally bought because my favorite blend was not available I came to love this one pretty fast.
The Virginia is nicely in the background of the Cavendish and the flavoring gives a pleasant sweetness. No edges or sharp corners just a very well balanced tasty tobacco.
Goes extremely well with the unsweetened double espressi which I drink in work breaks.

Recently bought a tin and upon opening you get the hints of caramel and vanilla but as soon as you fill and light up the bowl the flavors are not over whelming but somewhat stays at the background and more of a grassy tobacco taste takes over which is pleasant to smoke. Overall pleasant everyday day smoke light and burns very easily and the taste remains till the bottom of the bowl. I highly recommend this to a non aromatic smokers.

Davidoff's blue mixture was an unassuming, yet strangely satisfying brew.
I was eager to try the red.
I can't detect a great deal of difference between this and the blue mixture if I'm honest. The same clean (yet not soapy) aroma awaits you in the tin.
The tobacco looks pretty similar and burns and behaves much the same.
I have to say that after an enforced absence from the pipes due to a cold, which neutralised my taste buds, this blend was the one I turned to first. Like an old friend.
It's not strong or harsh and tongue bite unlikely even by a demon puffer.
I think there's a green mixture as well. I think I know what I might find...when I try it, which I most certainly will.

Davidoff Red Mixture: I do see aromatic lovers to really enjoy this blend, especially those preferring a mild smoke. Generally I like the trilogy of Davidoff, blue, red and green, for occasional aromatic smokes. This one, is perhaps easier to be an all day blend, or at least easily repeatable during the day if you like aromatics. It is creamy, sweet, but not heavily sweet, I perceive the black cavendish more dominant than the Virginia, the toppings make the blend a mild aromatic, including vanilla (it seems to be the major as many folks describe as well), caramel and notes of cocoa. Smokes very well in corn cob medium size, needs a few relights only and it does burn cool without tong bite (smoked without filter). A solid 3-star blend within the aromatic class.

holy smokes the vanilla is overwhelming here and it will accompany you till half of the bowl then virginia's taste will be the sole player. davidoff red mixture has a high potential to become acrid if you puff just a little harder. it will be appealing for vanilla lovers and for those around them as long as you keep the smoke cool. just like any davidoff product its of high quality and expensive. for me i found that i don't like vanilla in my tobacco.
0 star for price 18 usd for 50 grams, 0 star for taste i don't like vanilla (subjective) 1 star for quality 1 stat it doesn't bite.

The tin aroma is like prunes, or raisings. A close look at the colors of the tobacco reveals a mix of about 50% dark Cavendish, about 25% brown Burley and probably about 25% yellow Virginias.
Easy to pack, burns cool and dry, with no tongue bite. The fruity taste in the pipe is similar to the tin's aroma. The smell lingers in my skin and clothing for a while. Even my wife likes the smell. It is indeed a pleasant smoke.

Well it's time to get to the final color - red.
The tin opening left me a bit ill; whatever was meant to be Vanilla/Caramel was instead an off-putting sour mash of fake, 'fruity', sweet topping. The densely packed ribbon did however feel good, with a ready-to-go moisture. The lit product fared OK, but the funky flavor was at best a flat general sweetness, that was neither a buttery Caramel or clean crisp Vanilla. It wasn't overly syrupy, yet still came off as kinda cheap.
For an aromatic it barely crept past the one star range, but for my money, stick to Davidoff's Green concoction.

A blind test, I guess. It happens sometimes. The stars aligned against me, so to speak. A dutyfree shop packaging without any discription of the tobacco. A dutyfree shop salesman without any detailed knowledge. Data roaming not working. So I bought a tin of Red Mixture, thinking, were I to colorcode a straight Virginia in either "RED", "BLUE" or "GREEN", I would chose "RED".
Fail.
Davidoff RED MIXTURE is a run of the mill aromatic mixture. Virginia and Black Cavendish (for me the turn off) and a very generic "fruity" casing.
The tobacco is perfectly conditioned and cut. The pipe fills nicely and is easily lit. Very even and full, burning down to a almost white ash, nothing can be said but for this tobacco.
However - the casing leaves a thick, creamy almost spongy feel/taste in the moth, which I do not appreatiate.
In short - NOT what I looked for, but a decent aromatic.

It does not say much on the package. When you open it it has a nice smell and I like the coloring of the blend. It burns smoothly but a little bit too hot. The flavor is pleasant, and overall it is enjoyable. I'd go for it again, however it is a bit expensive.

This is what they have to call Davidoff Mild Mixture in Europe, because the politicians think we're too dumb to understand that even though it's mild, it's still cancerous. Anyway, I like it. See my review of Mild Mixture for details.
