Davidoff Red Mixture

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.

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.

The smell in the tin reminds me of my mother's christmas cake and those sweet spice smells of winter. A very smooth, quite smooth smoke with little, if any tongue bite and fills the room with a pleasant smell.

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.

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

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.
