Dan Tobacco Da Vinci
(2.74)
A delightful blend of light Virginia grades combined with black cavendish. Infused with Tuscan red wine, this blend has a pleasant aroma.
Notes: Tin of mid 90's CAO Da Vinci (manufactured in the EU by D.T.M.) says, "Da Vinci pipe smoking tobacco made from golden light Virginia grades and soothing sweet mild black cavendish matured under addition of fullbodied red chianti wines from the growing area known as the Colli Senesi. A real pleasure for all spoilt smokers and tobacco connoisseurs, enjoy this sweet mild and pleasant smoke and its fragrant aroma."

This is yet another one of my favorites. I find its flavor very sweet and appealing. I would say that it smokes with an almost creamy sweetness with a hint of Chianti. This flavor change places as you progress through the bowl ending with the full flavor of Chianti. Some might not like this due to the fact that the flavor lingers in your mouth for quite some time but if you find it pleasant it is not a problem. There is no noticeable bite and smokes relatively cool the only problem is that it smokes very wet out of the tin. I tried several different packing techniques and tried to smoke as slowly as possible and it still smoked very wet. Once things are allowed to dry out a little the problem diminishes. Room note is pleasant to neutral. A great after dinner smoke.

I am an aromatic pipe smoker and this gets my highest rating. To get the best flavor, I let it dry out considerably. The Tuscan wine topping is very noticable and adds to the excellent flavor. The room note is great and tolerated by non-smoking spouse. Dan's similar blends (Blue Note & Milonga) are good but not great compared to this, I suspect due to the wine infusion.

Yeah. I like it. I'll buy it again & again. Don't rush it though - it will bite.
