I guess this is one of those blends either you like it or you don't. I am in the don't category. While I do like a lot of Stokkebye blends and I do smoke and enjoy a lot of aromatic blends, this one just does not do anything for me.
First I have no idea where the Golden comes from. It is a very dark black Cavendish with just a touch of burley in it and it is somewhat of a rough ribbon cut. It is very fruity in pouch aroma as well as in the overall flavor of it. I do get a touch of vanilla every now and then but very little of the caramel claimed on the pouch. It comes very moist, almost wet and no matter how long you leave it exposed to the air, it never dries out. I left it almost two years!!! It is very mild, too mild, I find myself puffing aggressively to get much flavor out of it but all I get is a blue smoke and a little tongue bite. What taste I do get is a plastic like fruit taste that has no tobacco taste and is not pleasant. In fact it almost tastes sour. When I first opened the roll up pouch of it, it was so wet it was hard to light much less smoke all the way down. It was wet and sticky and left a lot of gunk in the bottom of my pouch. After two years, it will light and I am getting it almost all the way down, but it still has a lot of wetness and dottle and leaves a dark grey ash with tuffs of white in it. I read other reviews comparing it to 1Q. I don't see this at all, it is nowhere near in 1Q's class and I am not a real fan of it. This blend just has too many preservatives and again the plastic like taste and I cannot in good faith recommend it to anyone. I would never buy this one again. The only thing I will give it is if you like very weak tobacco, you might like this blend but I don't see anyone that likes a true pipe tobacco taste wanting any part of it. Sorry PS, not you best effort here.

Had a free sample of Golden Dansk and was not impressed. Had no taste some smell and gave me a slight case of tongue bite. Over all wouldn't recommend it.

I picked up two pouches from a local discount tobacco shop for $0.99 a piece. I suspected it might have been a pricing gun error and they should have been marked $x.99 where "x" is between 7 and 9. Taxes alone here should make a 99-cent pouch impossible.
Nope. It's a $.99 blend.
Ok, it's not horrid, but it's close. Thick, thick, thick flavorings with a hint of burning plastic. The smoke is almost black in color, and for some reason gives me a heck of a stomach ache (and I'm no tobacco lightweight). The thing is - it could be a richly flavored, tasty tobacco, if it wasn't so heavily cased with cheap flavoring. I think.
