Torben Dansk Blue Note

I'm very disappointed in this blend. I hear so many great things about it, but I get very little taste or smell out of it. The tin smell adds insult to injury - as it smells like the best tobacco ever. Unfortunately, in the pipe it does not deliver. It tastes like a weak aromatic, but doesn't smell like anything but smoke.

Burns well and if smoked fast there is so much tonque bite.It is for pipe smokers who fans of aromatic tobaccos and it comes like as a torture for pure tobacco lovers

Danish Cavendish aromatic candy in excelsis. Piquant, peut-être, but seek ecstasy elsewhere, mes amis.

They should have been called it "Blue Nothing".

I purchased a tin of Torben Dansk Blue Note because of its amazing reputation about balanced sweetness, quality of tobaccos and legendary room note.

Thanks to the Spanish Government I just pais it 12€... If I would have paid it in Italy it should have costed me something like 32€ and I would have been really angy about it.

I know that my taste does not appreciate Virginias just by themselves. People talk about several fragrance layers about Virginias, but the outcome for me is something that does not have taste, does not have room note, and it normally costs x2 (i.e. Capstain) or x3 (i.e. Blue Note) of a more balanced, affordable and popular mix (i.e. Skandinavik Mixture).

I need a decent Burley in the Sweet oriented mixtures, because apparently black cavendish and virginias, left alone with some additional scent, they simply don't work for me.

Vanilla flavour is possibly a daydream about someone with a strong fantasy.

Blue Note is simply another Virginia based blend that justifies its reputation just because it costs more than many other tobaccos: because of that it's more exclusive, because of that it gives you the status of a picky and wealthy pipe smoker.

Someone may say "hey dude, Virginias must get a little aged before expressing themselves at their best". True, this is exactly what happened to me with the St.Bruno, but this last one is indeed a well balanced affordable and time tested blend, "Blue Nothing" is not. I smoked it sex months later and it still taste of nothing.

At the end of the day, it costs quite a lot, it tastes almost zero. For sure the quality of tobaccos inside is good because after smoking it does not leave bad taste in your mouth, but I don't see the point of smoking it.

Stay away and pick something more affordable and more tasty: -for an high target, try the NORDING - SEAWEED (tin); -for a budget target, try the SKANDINAVIK MIXTURE (bag).

oh man...well, its sweet, I give it that. And the room note is fantastic. Otherwise there isn't much good to say about this. Its like if twinkies were a pipe tobacco.

Flavor? What flavor? Like smoking stale air. In fact, you can get the same profile by going to the nearest gas / petrol station and putting your quarter into the air pump and inhaling.

See you at the car wash.

Perfume flavored tobacco. Bites, bites and bites some more! Yuck!

10-15-04 I usually give a detailed review, but this blend just did not work for me at all. Smelled good in the tin, but it wasn't tobacco that I smelled! This just burned too hot for me regardless of what pipe I used and the flavor did not taste good to me once flame was applied. I much prefer "Evening Stroll" for a vanilla aromatic. Sorry! After half a 50g. tin, gave the rest away. Rating: 1 out of 5 points, to each, his own...

The tobacco in question presents itself in the tin as fragrant, sweet and rich in flavor...all good, indeed dare I say ...wow!

I am not a super-estimator of aromatics. Anyway, I try to get some to load my pipe with, after letting it dry for 30 minutes, since it was quite moist.

What can I say...smoking it is a whole different thing than smelling it in its packaging. It can have good room taste, but I usually don't smoke tobacco for room taste. The flavors twist into a mere burnt sugar taste that lingers in the mouth even after smoking, and at least for me, it's not very pleasant. It warms a little, did not bite my tongue.

Definitely an aromatic , sweet ...very sweet... if not too much .

I will definitely not buy the second tin and I think the rest will be trashed...
