Davidoff Cool Mixture

For six months I've been searching for a favourite, and now I've found one. I am a aromatic lover, even though I appreciate some latakia from time to time. The main problem for me is that I am very sensitive for tongue bite, but I want enough taste. That's why I was very happy when the nice lady at Brobergs in Stockholm suggested this blend for me. Lots of taste and nicotine but no tounge bite. Sweet but not too sweet with a very pleasent aroma from the tin.

EDIT 12/22 2007. This is very strange. I ordered a number of tins of this, my favourite, from an american dealer, and it was totally different from the ones I use to buy here i Sweden. The tin is the same and so is the aroma. But when you lite it nothings happen, just smoke. So I can understand why Pipestud didn't find it interesting. I don't know, but maybe it is because the tins from US was much drier (no wonder, flying over the Atlantic several times). I will keep my four stars due to my expirences from my lokal tins.

Not very different from Mild Mixture, the added burley and less casing provide a cooler smoke with no tongue bite, no matter how hard you puff. It is less vanillic, more fruity and milder than MM. Not bad, but hardly worth a recommendation.

Tin aroma when opened is the only thing you remember. Smoking this tobacco is like smoking a cigarette. At the same price you can find a lot of better tobaccos

The kindness of peripatetic non-smoking friends gets me to taste all kinds of aromatics.Fox`s Aromatic has the most intense smell of black cherries I have ever come across - it settled into the hair, and upon washing into the towel! This Davidoff offering is a much milder beast, with the expected Davidoff virtues of good ingredients carefully handled. It is fairly cool smoking, as adverised. But eventually it disappoints. It has less character than its stable-mate Scottish Mixture, and just doesn`t hold interest for any length of time.

As far as aromatics go, this one is not bad (From an English smoker - this is as high a rating as I've ever given an aromatic).

The smell in the tin is delicious, the smoke rich and flavorful, but can bite if youre not careful. I find that sometimes this tobacco tastes terrible down low in the bowl, and other times its fine... it is a quality aromatic though. My friends who arent pipesters love its smell as does my lady.

The only real criticism I have is that the tin seals poorly when closed - switch to round ones Davidoff!

Other than that, when I smoke Aromatics (Which isnt that often being a VA/Per lover) this is a nice smoke.

About a 5 out of 10

Not bad for an aromatic. I second the earlier reviews. This mixture does live up to its name - perfect for avoiding tongue bite. It has a slight menthol flavour that I wasn't crazy about - too much like smoking cigarettes.

I must admit, I like Davidoff. I like their cigarettes, I like their cigars, so logically, davidoff was one of my first ?to try? brands, when I started with ?serious? tobaccos. Cool mixture is cool indeed. Which is nice. Smoking some of this during the day, leaves the tongue fresh enough to smoke some more sophisticated tobacco?s in the evening. Because this is not very sophisticated nor subtle. Is reminds me of Mac Barens black ambrosia, but without the sweetness. Not a very special tobacco, but it has no real flaws, so for me it is a nice ?day-time? tobacco. Some make remarks on the price of davidoff tobacco?s. I must have paid a tin of this around ?10 at my tobacconist?s. And it gives me troughout a year plenty bowls of enjoyment, making this way cheeper than cigarettes (in my country anyway), or cigars(a decent cuban must start around ?10).

This was my favorite among the three Davidoff blends I purchased--which isn't saying much. The Cool blend had less casing than the other two, and I even detected a tobacco taste occasionally during the course of the bowl. On the plus side, it is true to its name... was it ever cool. In fact, at times I thought I was pulling on a straw rather than a pipe. I kept checking the bowl to make sure the stuff was lit.

If you are a fancier of aromatic tobaccos, this one may fix you right up!
