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.

As my experience with trying tobaccos not available in my native country (U.K) continues whilst I holiday in the State of Florida USA, my next stop was 'Blue Note' by Dan tobacco.

Previously I had heard this was the aromatics to beat all aromatics, and I must admit I have been keen to try this for a while.

Upon opening the tin, the leaves were very bright, and the cut was an almost haphazard cacophony of different shapes and styles (Shag, Ribbon, broken flake). The aroma is very bubble-gummy and it's clear that this will smell pleasant upon lighting.

Once lit I was expecting to be bowled over by a rich array of vanilla creams, berry's, molasses, fruit, etc.. However I found that whilst a nice aromatic, that was all it was...nice.

It reminded me a little of Petersons Connoisseur's choice. However I find CC is a much richer fuller aromatic with more pronounced fruitiness than Blue Note, and as such I prefer the former if given the choice.

So Blue Note is quite nice, and will please those around you with it's sweet aroma. However for a deeper richer more potent and luxurious aromatic there are others available that trump Blue Note, such as Petersons CC.

Still it's another one off the list of 'Not available in the UK' blends that I have sampled whilst abroad.

I enjoy both aromatics and english but I prefer aromatics.Up to now my favorite was Berry Cobbler by Boswell (and still is from the point of view of sweetness ).But BN has such a wonderfully blended mix the overall taste is better.This one moves to the top of my reorder list and will be a permanant addition to my rotation.

I agree with most of what has already been said about this tobacco. The tin aroma is incredible, and translates into a somewhat pleasant room note. However, I don't find this tobacco mild at all. It's actually pretty strong, at least as far as aromatics go. I would only recommend it for those looking for an aromatic with a distinct tobacco taste and a decent amount of nicotine.

The review by Wagon25 was spot on. I don't smoke Blue Note often but I really enjoy it when I do. This is one of the few tobaccos that I order in quantity.

As an extra added bonus SWMBO doesn't complain when I smoke it in the house, the room note is just that nice.

I must say.. This is not bad. It is the only aromatic I like. It does taste alot like it smells. It truly reminds me of smoking a birthday cake. I smoke it in a cob because I dont have a pipe I want to taint with aromatics. Give it a shot. I smoke it mostly to please others. If you smoke this after a big bowl of english you will find the cake I speak of.

I really hoped this was "the one", it smells so amazing in the tin & the room note is absolutely phenomenal. I tried this over a year ago for the first time, and couldn't smoke for a week while my tongue healed from the burn. After trying a couple more times with similar results, I decided to let my tin sit for a while before trying again. Fast-forward to about 14 months later, and this stuff still burns the ever loving snot out of my tongue. Know what's worse? The taste isn't there for me, either. Flaming tongue for a smoke that I find tremendously unsatisfying. I'll keep what's left of this tin, maybe another couple years will mellow it out.

This is absolutely delicious. It's like there's a cake burning in my bowl and I'm sucking the smoke. The only bad thing is that the heavy flavoring seems to make this tobacco obstinately hard to keep lit.

I have heard so much about this blend and wanted to try it. Even though my tastes are leaning to more English type tobaccos, I will always enjoy an occasional aromatic.

I tried the bulk blend. This has a very fruity smell. Packs well and took two charring lights to get it going. Keep in mind I was outside on a slightly windy day reading a book, so this may have influenced my rating. I will rate it again later.

I was trying to be cautious about tongue bite and didn?t want to puff to aggressively. It kept going out on me. It went really well with my flavored coffee though. I made it about half way through the bowl as I realized I was beginning to puff to hard and fast in the attempt to keep it going. I dumped it out and noticed some moisture build up in the bottom. Hey, it?s an aromatic, after all.

I think this would be a great indoor smoke. Something to please the people around you and without any outside influence, something you could take your time and enjoy without being worried about tongue bite. I didn?t get bitten, but I also didn?t finish the bowl.

Try it, you will either like it or not.

I smoked this in a fresh cob because so many reviews report the shadow, the gunk and it has received a lot of less than glowing reviews. First off upon lighting it up, I wondered wheres all this burst of flavor? It smells great and slightly sour in the tin, but I did not get much at first, not even a great aroma. Understand that I am more of a burly man, not much of an aromatic man, and don't really like vanilla flavoring.

So... I did notice that even though I puffed fast trying to get the flavoring, it just would not burn fast for me, was ever so gentle on my tongue, and did not put out a lot of smoke like a lot of blends. I kept with it anyway, I mean I have a full tin, and about halfway down through the bowl, I started to notice that, gee this is pleasurable. As it burned down more, I really started liking it and it started to smell great! By the bottom of the bowl, I thought, WOW, this is good stuff and is great with a cup of tea! While I would not make this my regular daily, it is a good treat smoke, and one that the aroma would WOW people around me. So, I think I will be keeping a tin around for when I feel like a sweet. I did notice my mouth grew dry, so it requires a drink in hand, but so what, I always do anyway. This is a terrific aromatic, even for someone who does not tend towards them. Try it!

As far as aromatics go, this one is a tolerable smoke. The tin note is of a vanilla fruit basket.

Can be syrupy when fresh, so I recommend letting it dry out a little beforehand. Though it does burn hot, it will stay lit as you let it cool. Pacing your smoke will help. Mild nicotine content.

Most of the Dan Tobacco line is too cased for me. This however is one that I'll keep around as an occasional dessert.
