Torben Dansk Blue Note
(2.71)
Mild, golden Virginias, that possesses a naturally high sweetness, are mixed with a mild black cavendish. A fresh flavor of exotic fruits and a touch of bourbon vanilla is added to make this an extraordinarily mild blend.
Notes: Bourbon Vanilla is a variety of the vanilla plant. There is no bourbon (alcohol) in this blend.

Blue note has stiff competition with other aromatics in my rotation that smoke better, taste better, and are more economical.
I'm not a big fan of fruity type flavors in my tobacco - even in an aromatic, and this one is fruity, but I'm not basing my overall review on that bias.
The blend is extremely sweet which only aggravates the intensely shrill high notes from the sour fruit flavor and tangy Virginias. There are no real bass notes to balance it out. It will bite easily which is a real downer for any aromatic - when I reach for a aromatic I'm looking for a comfort smoke that requires no concentration.
Blue Note just doesn't deliver. I can understand why some like it, but it isn't my idea of a good aromatic or blend in general.

When I cut the 8oz bag open I was hit by a fruity (been described as fig newtons which is accurate) smell. I immediately knew I had smelled this before but couldnt remember where, then it hit me... Rattrays Terry Red Only much heavier than that.. Moister level was acceptable The flavor was there the whole way which for an aromatic is unusual. One thing that stood out to me was this burned to a dry white ash usually reserved for quality Virginias and Englishes. That was nice to see.. Someone here stated to treat this tobacco like a fine lady and that is also accurate.. It got a bit warm on me and wanted to snap my tongue in protest. Good Qaulity stuff which after one bowl I can say Im glad i bought it but unless it grows on me at a later time I probally will not add to this 8 oz bag.. I cant imagine age changing this blend much... Anyone feel differently or have expereience with an aged supply ?

Blue Note, from Dan Tobacco, is a terrific blend for non-smokers in that the room note is extremely pleasing. If you smoke for your own pleasure, however, and not for others (I am being cheeky), this is a blend that will have to pass like a cricket ball into the wicket. Indeed, I cannot sing praises for Blue Note. My wife, however, commented on its pleasant tropical coconut odour; I gagged through the puffs--a real turn of the tables. Fortunately, the flavour is not stuck on my palate or in my pipe (after a thorough cleaning of the latter). As I am not a dedicated aromatic smoker (I try one every now and then on a whim), I am giving this two stars rather than one to be fair to those who are aromatic smokers as I gather they will like Blue Note immensely. For me, I will try something else and sing another day.

A local tobacconist recommended this as a blend whose taste would rival the sweetness of its aroma. Nope. A nice aromatic, but since aromatics aren't my cup of tea I'll probably pass on this in the future.

Blue Note was pretty tasteless to me. Smelled alright, didn't bite, smoked ok, but just had nothing to really offer. If you are just starting out in pipe smoking this is a blend for you, if you have any experience however, u will want something with a little more to it.
