Possibly JD has killed my taste buds over the years but I enjoy the taste and smell of Aalborg. Several years ago while attending a British motorcycle ralley in Hiawassee GA, a lovely young lady walking behind me asked "is it ok if I walk behind you all day, I love the smell of your pipe tobacco". My reply was she could follow me back to IL if she wanted.

Aslborg, what can I say…
Well, this is one of the 1st if not thee 1st non-drug store blends I ever purchased. I bought 4oz of it at a Tinderbox in Harrisburg, PA. I since learned 4oz of anything I have tried before is easily 3 1/2 oz to many ?. I’m not sure why I picked Aalborg, but I must’ve thought a cognac flavored tobacco would be a hit. It was a miss but I held onto it as a reminder, I guess. Now that I’ve been an on-again/off-again pipe smoker for the past 20 years (but really only the last year consistently), I thought I’d circle back as I’ve been finishing long forgotten and repeatedly rehydrated tobaccos. I just finished an ancient tin of Dunhill 965 (post-Murray) that I never appreciated and didn’t want to smoke my last bowl of Warped Scarecrow before Halloween nor open my tin of Bankside until November.
So Aalborg it was. It’s better than I remember it, but it’s easily possible that my technique has simply improved. It’s equally possible that time in a jar has contributed to this improvement. Still, I’ve had much better aromatics in the time since this initial purchase but it is smokable and somewhat enjoyable. I’m not sure I know of another Cognac aromatic blend.
