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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
