This one is the third mixture in the Davidoff trilogy. I liked the Blue, which was fragrant and tasty on a good day. The Red fell a little short of that, but was still quite a passable blend.

Ah, but the Green. Oh dear.

Like the Blue and the Red it shares a truly memorable open tin fragrance. It reminds me of the nicer sore throat sweets which a touch of honey.

Unlike the Blue, where at least a suggestion of the tin aroma makes it through to the smoke and in the room note, this poor old blend is totally and utterly tasteless.

Horrible ? Well no. It's just too tasteless to be horrible. Mrs RH just ignores it and never even passed comment on the tin aroma. It's just so bland and dull.

I've tried different pipes in an attempt to get something out of it. I've tried it direct from the tin and tried drying out in the hope that something will emerge in the way of taste or character. You certainly have no danger in leaving a ghost in your pipe with this one !

So, in conclusion (and one I can't see me editing in the future) tasty tin aroma, tasteless smoke , no room note. Might end up either using it as a filler or making cigarettes from it.

Sorry, Davidoff, not your finest hour.

Davidoff Green Mixture.

When I took the first puff of Green Mix' it was clear to me that this is, contrary to popular opinion, a definite 4 star blend for me! Prior to lighting the mixture it gives off a brilliant earthy aroma, a straight forward and a very raw tobacco one. It's great with moisture, it can be smoked straight away. The flavour of this immanently brings the word 'smooth' to mind, each tobacco taste is of a perfect weight without being too obstreperous in the mix, every flavour can be tasted. Personally, I don't get any underlying false flavours, the taste is a very honest one. It doesn't bite me any and the smoke only becomes too warm if it's strained really hard. The room note is a traditional one that's not overly heavy.

As I said at the beginning, I knew (for me) this was a 4 star blend straight away!

This was my first pipe tobacco to try. It is a very mild, yet creamy tobacco. No tongue bite, and very little saint nic. It does however get boring quite quickly. I guess right from the start I was ready for something stronger. One other thing for a burly tobacco it sure is expensive.

Thank you Freddie for once again hosting the Pipe Smokers Guild meeting last night. It was great fun.

At our table we were presented by Davidoff Green, Red and Blue. I chose the Green because it smelled like a favourite and standby blend being Petersons Sherlock Holmes.

It does not come close to SH.

I found it bland and tasteless. Not for a Million Pounds would i be able to identify this blend in a blind test. It was just so flat and boring and horror of horrors, around mid bowl i got that Cavendish taste with every puff.

I guess it would appeal to the Pipester who likes this type of blend, the base tobaccos seem to be of very good quality.

I seem to always be impressed by Davidoff's quality. Green Mixture, despite having a bland tin face, is a little perky for an aromatic and I liked the way the components were put together. These select blends of tobaccos include: mature Virginia, flavorful Burley, and Black Cavendish. Not sure what the infusion was, but it tasted somewhat like ripe strawberries.

My brother in law bought some of Davidoff blends for me while he transit at Dubai. He loking arround to the airport free duty store and the store sell some kind of pipe tobaccos and he choose the Davidoff blend because the brand is very popular. When I open the tin for the 1st time I smell a creamy mixed fruity from the tobacco, pack it light and burn it and I get a light/mild smoke, allmost plain I gues but with a pleasant rome notes. I think this blend is very good for beginner. For a mild and smooth smoke, I think this blend is good enough. With a creamy fruity flavor is very easy to enjoy.

And I was so looking forward to this. My samplings of the red and blue mixtures were favourable, the red's christmas cake overtones and the blue's hints of cream played a merry dalliance with my taste buds and satisfied me most royally.

I thought the promise of these two might be kept when I first opened the tin and a delightful honey scent wafted my nostrils like flowers on a summers day, I so couldn't wait to get in my pipe and light up. Boy, what a disappointment. Yes, there are slight twinges of honey in the flavour but it is subtle to the point of failing to get the message across.

Yes, yes, I do still find myself getting some pleasure from smoking this, and the room note is impeccable, the lack of tonguebite is also a plus, hence the two stars.

I like all the other Davidoff tobacco I've tried, the other colour mixtures, their cigarettes, I so wanted to give this three stars, sadly the lack of flavour in the smoke prevents me from doing so. However, there are enough plus points here to save it from being one star, it's just a shame I can't get the room note without having to smoke it.

This is a really nice tobacco. A nice smooth black cavendish and virginia flavor. I see no problems with it. 4 stars. Pack it lightly and make sure your taste buds aren't fried and you'll enjoy this tobacco. Lot's of nice flavor. Davidoff makes some fine high quality tobacco.

sitting out on my porch i found the davidoff green mixture to remind me of santa barbara, california in a bad way. if you are not familiar with the area think of a street reeking of alcohol with a mixture of ocean. If you are a fan of burnt toast then this would be the blend for you because i got notes of it along with refried beans and picante salsa. i don't recommend this blend, although it did stay easily lit and was a relatively dry blend in comparison to the other blends i have been smoking. proper english, sherwood forest, and another english blend.

When opening the tin, the first thing to notice is a pleasant sweet smell, like a freshly baked pancake. A close look at the colors of the tobacco reveals a mix of about 50% dark Cavendish, about 40% brown Burley and probably about 10% yellow Virginias. Easy to pack, burns cool and dry, with no tongue bite. The sugary taste in the pipe is similar to the tin's aroma. The sweetness lingers in my skin and clothing for a while. Even my wife likes the smell. It is indeed a pleasant smoke.

[Edit: I recently opened a tin of the green which was lackluster without much flavoring of any kind. Still an easy smoke, but no longer a 3 star in my playbook.]

Well no marks for the generic packaging (one of the few tins that is improved by the look of the warning label). The aroma inside is sour and whatever fruit lived there is now deceased, rotten, and ceremoniously buried with a light dusting of sugar. Not the best air freshener, but I was eager to spark up having been impressed by other stinky Aromatics before.

The mottled mix of dark Cavendish and lighter Burley had a good thickness and moisture level, without an annoying sticky topping. Had a nice even burn with an easy smoke that I found myself inhaling on a few occasions. I didn't really notice what the fruit is supposed to be, yet I was happy with the sweet residue left on my tongue nonetheless.

While I can't identify a specific flavor here, it made for an all day smoker and reliable Aromatic I would be happy to puff again.

This is high quality and deliciously fragrant tobacco. It will not bite you and the room note is wonderfull. Unfortunately it is also very, very mild.

Edit (2016-03-04): After having bought another tin, I have to boost my rating to three stars. The honey casing is subtle and as you progress through the bowl the strength of the tobacco increases to a more acceptable level. I like this as an entrée smoke before smoking a stronger non-aromatic.

Smells good on opening. Looks good too. Hard to light and zero character. First bowl wasted. Not good so far. Will try again, but other reviews pretty much hit the nail on the head

I find the taste of this tobacco rather light. So I like it when I just want to relax without searching of any kind of flavor or taste.

It's tempting to give this a one star review to punish Davidoff for trading on their name rather than their product, but the truth is that it's not that bad.

It's very mild but as that's the point of this blend I can't fault it for that either.

My problem is that it's not just mild, it's insipid. It lacks anything interesting in its meekness.

Nice change of pace. A subtle aromatic for sure, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Davidoff makes elegant pipe tobacco’s, not just cigars. I’m no expert, but I can taste hints of Carmel and a little vanilla in addition to the tobacco. Smokes cool.

Leave it in a jar for three months, really improves.

Not much to add to what has been written so far.... it is what it says it is. Unflavored cavendish, virginia and burly.

When I first smoked Green Mixture I was unimpressed. I tried it again and was less critical but still not all that happy.

Now I tred it in a cob and am satisfied that its not as bad as some reviewers have suggested.

The tin note is a little floral and I pick up a background sweetness that faintly reminds me of caramel. The 3 components smell in balance, the cavendish and virginia being at the for front.

Lighting it up it comes across rather fruity and sweet, it mellows through the bowl with the virginia tastes gradually dissipating.

Not a bad smoke, not going to win any prizes. What struck me was how easy it was to keep lit. I find it Relatively cool smoking and experienced no tongue bite.

Like I said at the beginning, it is what it says it is. Will I buy it again? Probably not. Would I recommend it to someone else? If you are after a cool burning, fairly one dimensional, unflavored cavendish blend, give it a go.

A very nice blend, balanced and well blended. It is similar in many ways, and I refer to it as the middle blend to the Red and Blue. A mild sweetness and grassy flavor from the Virgnia with a vanilla taste. It has a nutty finish and no after taste. A pleasant smoke with no bite, dry and cool. It is a nice daily smoke, I like it in the morning in rotations with Sutliff and 1957 4th Generation in rotation. I recommend for first time pipers as well as a solid foudation in flavors.

Oh, this stuff is not so bad. Was wavering between two and three stars, but have decided on three, though for me personally, two-and-one-half. Anyone who reads my reviews knows I forgive most anything but Mixture No. 79 and Borkum Riff Whiskey. Not an aromatic; I would say it's very lightly topped, vaguely fruity, but would really be better with a bit more fruit. Lightly sipped, it is pleasant enough. My tin is about 12 years old, by the way. I think this will be good to go to when I have smoked too many pipes, and my mouth is burned out, and I need something mild and forgiving, but don't think I will buy it again, unless it's half price or something. Will make a good blender...

For the past half year or so I have almost stopped smoking aromatics as English/Balkans/Virginias/Vapers may suit more for me. The Davidoff Green Mixture is one of the first tobaccos I tried and had several bowls and only recently I thought to give it again a try (I did like it from start, just shifted to non-aromatics in the process). So this is a more updated review of the blend (Feb-2023) having been aged perhaps for more than 7-8 months in the jar. The tobacco is very pleasant, mild in terms of strength, it is a moderately aromatic tobacco, i.e., not a blend with overwhelming casings. In his review, “Pipestud” mentions a “somewhat ripe strawberries taste” - I’d say, I experienced something similar, additionally something little creamy and a kind of “honey casing” as some other folk mentioned as well. My more recent bowls are with country gentleman MM using acrylic stem, i.e., non-filtered corn cob pipe. The tobacco can be smoked directly without drying time, even though out of the jar it keeps little moist and juicy, and it burns very cool without any chance of bite. It may need a number of relights, but it has a medium ribbon cut that allows it to burn without too much difficulty. A nice combination of black cavendish with burley and some presence of Virginia. A high-quality tobacco with the signature of Davidoff. Yes, I think for those who are at early stage of pipe smoking, no matter whether you direct yourself to aromatics or non-aromatics, it worth give it a try and perhaps, have a bowl once in a while, but if you are more into aromatics then this blend could be part of your regular rotation. This blend performs very, very, very well in corn cob pipes. Overall, I would incline to 2 starts or 2 & half stars, though if you are more into aromatics, then this can be very much enjoyed and be, at least, a 3-star blend.
