Davidoff Red Mixture
(2.93)
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.

[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.

Maybe I got a bad tin, but I found Red Mixture very flat indeed. There was a hint of something saccharine-like at times, but mostly just felt like smoking hot air. Disappointed.
