Davidoff Green Mixture

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.

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.

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.

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...
