Villiger Mid-Day

On my second tin of MidDay and am very happy. The smell and taste is quite pleasant albeit a bit strong. That works in your favor when the tin is unsealled and your two weeks into it. MidDay lasting power in this case means the underlying tobacco is also coming forth and its quality is sufficient so that the strong aromatic is not masking a harsh blend. It burns cleanly and does not bite. Biting with aromatics are an issue for me as I am a heavy puffer.

Previously I have been using stanwell melange (which is also good) and I've been very happy to add MidDay to my rotation.

I would recommend this to all level of aromatic smokers; notice to established.

I also enjoy pinching a bit of MidDay into my straight Viginia blends on occassion. (Ex. McClelland Blackwoods Flake tufted out and left to air out for a day or two with a pinch of MidDay)

I have grown beyond looking down my nose at a tobacco just because it is aromatic. Heck, there are even aromatics that have gone on to become some of my favorite blends; though there are not many of these tobaccos, Villiger Mid-Day is certainly among them.

It is nice to come upon an aromatic that manages to deliver exactly what is promised in the description on the label. They say that Mid-Day will taste of vanilla and of exotic fruit and, by jiminy, that's just what you get. The flavor is strong, pungent, right up in your face. At times it was less like I was smoking a pipe and more like I was eating a cream pie with caramel drizzled all over the top. This often isn't what I'm looking for when I light up, but it was amusing enough, all the same, and I have no doubt that this would be an aromatic smoker's wet dream (not to be crass).

What makes Villiger Mid-Day a success in terms of an oh-so sweet aromatic is that it tastes as sweet as it smells and that it smokes very cool throughout. It also really doesn't seem to smoke as wet as other German-type aromatics, which is something further to its credit. I am sure that this is accomplished by the fact that there is good, decent tobacco under all of that highly effective casing. This shows that the manufacturer didn't simply fill the tin with garbage leaf and suppose that the sauce would mask any imperfections.

Everybody should try this stuff at least once. Not everybody will love it, but I believe it would be hard not to at least respect this blend and the company who made it. It has succeeded where a seemingly endless host of junk aromatics have failed.

Now this is a very pleasant well done aromatic IMO. The topping is a refreshing mix of fruit and vanilla, both of which are discernible. Although there is some oriental component in the mix, I couldn't really tell which or much about it as the topping really takes the lead in the blend. I am sure it adds something to the blend, I really just can't identify it or any of the underlying leaf.

This is truly an aromatic and the topping does not really wane as one progresses down the bowl. The room note is fantastic. I received a few compliments on the notes at a pool party I recently attended.

I had a hard time trying to decide between three or four stars. I opted to jump to four stars as this really was a pleasure to smoke. I will happily return after I pop my next tin. I have three in the cellar.

A wonderfully rich aromatic characterized by a tasty blend of tobaccos (which are accentuated, not masked, by the added flavorings), a delightful room note that everyone seems to enjoy, and a dry, but tasty, smoking experience. I'd almost say that it even benefits from DGT. Coming back to an unfinished bowl hours later yields no diminishing of flavor or aroma.

What can I say about this blend its good and the wife likes the room note.

Very impressed. Cheap so thought it would be bad. Great classic aro smel- vanilla caramel, raisin like, liquor smell, touch of coconut. Burned very smooth, slight salty taste, smooth tobacco taste, nice room note.

Despite the heavy casing/flavor a nice toasty tobacco flavor comes through when smoking. No problem with tongue bite. This blend is well worth a try if you are a seasoned aromatic smoker or a new smoker. A tobacco lovers aromatic. And I have to add, especially for the price. Apparently this blend is new to the market and at the time of this writing it is priced to move.

It's not the kind of thing I smoke every day, or when I'm at home with a good book. It's the kind of thing I grab on the way to a party or going to see a group of friends. The flavor is pleasant enough, but the room note is absolutely out of this world! This would be a two or three star tobacco, except for all of the compliments I got from Women, friends, and non-smokers. People I didn't know would crowd closer to enjoy in the fruity, dreamy ambrosia wafting from the bowl. A good "conversation starter" in social settings, to say the least, and a quick way to make new friends. Smoke slowly, and avoid the bite, but smoke plenty, and turn some heads!

I got a tin of this for IPSD 2011. I had seen it around on a couple web sites and just said hey today is a good day to order some Love the room note.. Has to be one of the nicest I have had a round for a long time. Really get the fruit in the smoke I think has a little W.O. Larsen smell to it.. Taste is good pick up Vanilla all the way through the bowl good blast of fruit also. I have found a site that has a good deal on this and will be getting 5 tins for around 25 bucks it is a keeper

Delicious pouch smell, caramel, butterscotch and dried figs. Stays lit well. Middle of the bowl is delicious, vanilla, Virginia sweetness, caramel, and just a little spicy. A very nice aromatic.
