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 an excellent blend. Nothing to compare with Cellini's stuff which I don't like. The tuscany wine is an invention, however the Da Vinci by Dan is simply a great smoke. If you like aromatics such as Blue Note, Sweet vanilla, Autumn Evening, WO Larsen Vintage etc. (all of them first class aromatics, to me) you simply cannot miss the Da Vinci. After many tins, I always find myself amazed by how good the aroma and smell of this blend is. It is well balanced, and it deserves 5 stars with no reserve. Aromatics are like cakes: there's not a "best" one, however you should know the best of all kind, and refuse second choice blends. This is first quality, and it is a bit expensive unfortunately.

One of the few aromatics that you can actually taste. Whether the taste is wine or not is debatable but the pouch smell is superb and the smoke flavor on the tongue pairs nicely. Indeed everyone nearby appreciates the smell, but even so, the one with the pipe gets the true experience. Very unique blend and flavor worth trying at least once to see how you like it.

Da Vinci gives a sweet and delicious smoke. Among Dan aromatic tobaccos, this is the one I prefer. It is as sweet as other blends, but have a more complex composition.

Tin aroma is wonderful, as well as room note. This is a "social tobacco" that will make non smokers tell that is smells delicious. In the tin the tobacco shows an open range of colors, from cream to black.

Tried several tins on the past years and the recipe is consistant. Aromatic fans wont be dissapointed.

Even with being a primarily VA & English blend smoker, I do like a good aromatic now & then as a change of pace. Many of the aromatics that I have tried just do not cut it as far as flavor, and also are so "goopy" as to burn and smoke too hot even with air drying. Very few can impart good taste, even burn, and quality tobacco. DaVinci is most assuredly one of these rare few.

The blending of VA, Black Cavendish & the light wine topping is simply exquisite and very balanced. This blend is very easy to light and rarely needs a re-light at all. To my palate, the red wine could be defined as a good Italian Chianti. The leaves in this blend are of high quality, with very few stems if ever found at all. The VA & Cavendish marry together quite well, and play off each other imparting a memorable smoking experience.

The room note is excellent, and biting is not a worry at all.

If your tired of sub-par aromatics, I urge you to try DaVinci and experience this quality blend.

Very Highly Recommended!

Wow, this is an amazing blend! In fact, (it may be to early to tell) I think I might like it better than Blue Note!?!? I mostly enjoy non-aromatic blends but if you're like me and you want a change of pace from time to time, or if you're planning on smoking around a crowd but you still want to enjoy the smoke, then hands down this is the blend to turn to. It most certainly is one of the better aromatics out there.

-Essential.

This blend is highly recommended to those who enjoy aromatics. The Tuscan wine taste is distinct but not overpowering. The packaging is very cool with the Mona Lisa image. Have received many compliments on the aroma even from militant anti-smokers. This blend is not to be confused with Cornell and Diehl's DaVinci which is a powerful English blend, that packs a pleasant punch when one is in the mood for Latakia.

Dan Tobacco has yet to let me down. I love...well....like McClelland and other aromatic brands but I have yet to find a brand like CAO Dan Tobacco where I can pick up a tin of any of their offerings and be 100% satisfied. I bought this Da Vinci last week and never thought twice of what I might think. Great casing, great flavor.If I could give it 6 out of 5 stars, I would.

I did not do this start your writing with "Da Vinci Dan Tobacco" , since the same name tobacco products and Cornell & Diehl. One of my friends it was during his visit to Zagreb offered this tobacco and I liked the room note - he was rich, aromatic, but not tiring. Later, I tried another pipe from s friend and I was even better ... No, not no longer, the last time in Graz, I bought a bag of tobacco and kept on the table. I smoked latiakias and so I looked at the bag, and bag me ... Before about a week when I was already fed up of all possible latakias and bald hadeded teachers, I decided, and opened it ... First - the smell, something between bourbon, light Cavendish and something sour, but pleasantly sour ... more on that later. Tobacco magnificently large cut, see a golden Virginia, Burley and Cavendish ... Thus, tobacco smoke is a great, genuine, mature aromatic dessert, but right now that out loud, not too strong aromatic, aromatic, but let's say that goes well with an afternoon tea ... Of course it is in the tobacco and artificial flavors, but very mild and tolerable, so that even the biggest opponents aromatic tobaccos not have to lay pipe after this tobacco. Otherwise it sour note that I previously mentioned, really gives "retrogusto" chianti and this feeling all the time smoking on the palate and tongue with a slight but noticeable aroma of good whiskey. However I doubt that the tobacco served with the Chianti "Colli Senesi" as suggested by the inscription on the bag before it was Denmark alchemy, but very discreet and tasteful ... Otherwise, this tobacco would recommend our offspring Heather (when clean pipe) as an excellent "second echelon tobacco" - after the Original Choice ... Tobacco burns well and developed a great cold smoke ... As a curiosity - our Herr Dreier in Graz selling it as "mein Tobak" in bags of 100 grams for 14 euros, and the original bag of 50 grams is 8 euros. Recommendation - Prepare before smoking another pipe, because you will attract - yet, yet.

Rating - the best among aromatic I smoked the last ten years. For each recommendation ... Only the price - but can not always have everything!

This blend is a wonderful aromatic,this blend is for those who bear a sweet tooth but not sickeningly sweet!I personally would recommend Davinci because it's a delightfully tasty aromatic blend in both taste and smell.My tin doesn't have alot of moisture which was a good sign,it can take 2 lights to get it fully ignited and well puffed... I expected this from a black cavendish.Now the black cavendish is a real treat as well,goes very nice with the chianti I feel there was no need for the virginia as this blend is a very dark and mysterious aromatic.This is definitely a top 10 in the aromatics dept. and for Black Cavendish it's in my top 5.Not recommended for smokers of 'simple' aromatics.
