Davidoff Red Mixture

Wonderful mild high quality tobacco. It has a special smell and taste.

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.

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.

This was good. I liked the vanilla caramel smell and taste and the room note was good.The tobacco was ribbon cut and tends to burn warm though.Elegant blend from an elegant company.

it s very amazing tobacco pipe and my pipe not requierd to clean after use.a sweet tobacco pipe and it s distinctive fruiet and vanilla taste .if you like aromatic tobaaco its good mixture

Nice pleasant tobacco with a smooth aroma. No bites at all but i found it very dampish. I don't know if it is because of my pipe but i had to change my balsa filter in the middle of smoking

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.
