Davidoff Danish Mixture

A l'ouverture de la boite, il y a une légère odeur de noix, une odeur subtile d'érable, ainsi qu'une petite touche de miel. Les arômes sont très légers et viennent à peine vous chatouiller les narines. Cela sent le tabac de qualité très "Gentleman" Comme tous les Davidoff que j'ai précédemment gouté; Le tabac est plutôt compact dans la boite, relativement sec en surface et plus humide en vers le fond de la boite. La coupe de type " Ribbon " rend le bourrage et l'allumage faciles, et le tabac peut être fumé après quelques minutes d'aération seulement.

Au fumage, dès les premières bouffées, ce sont les mêmes impressions qu'a l'ouverture: tout en subtilités et en finesse. Rond en bouche, avec juste ce qu'il faut de moelleux. L'érable, la noix, la douceur du miel associée à une note résineuse presque aérienne s'accordent parfaitement jusqu'à la fin du bol dans un festival de douceur. Le goût général n'est pas très aromatique et cependant fort gouteux et savoureux. Quant au fumage, relativement linéaire, il vous apporte une régularité gustative sans vous piquer la langue en fin de bol. La fumée est relativement compacte et le goût ne reste bien en bouche.

A mon point de vue, c'est un tabac que je ne qualifierais pas d'aromatique, à l'instar du Peterson Hyde Park, bien qu'il ne contienne pas de Latakia. Les arômes y sont extrêmement légers, et ne viennent que renforcer subtilement le mélange des différents tabacs. Sans être un tabac d'exception, j'ai pourtant été conquis. C'est la troisième boite de la marque que j'ouvre, et après deux quasi déceptions, je retrouve enfin la réputation de Davidoff et la satisfaction que ses cigares m'ont jadis procurés. Pour vous donner, comme toujours, une image, ce tabac me fait penser a ces bancs publics que l'on trouve dans les squares et les parcs; ils vous permettent de vous détendre un instant et de laisser errer vos pensées a votre gré. Ils sont toujours là, calmes et rassurants, tantôt â l'ombre ou au soleil, prêts à vous accueillir cinq minutes ou plusieurs heures, sans qu'on leur prête le plus souvent attention ... En conclusion : le Danish Mixture ? Mon tabac de tous les jours, tout simplement.

Although this one will not be well suited for the nicotine hounds among us (of which I am one), it is a very nice Danish aromatic with a little bit of body to it. The taste, as others have described, leans toward honey.

Easy to pack, light and keep lit, Davidoff Danish Mixture will be very pleasing to the aromatic crowd. And, as an added bonus, this blend is very sticky, so you can lick your fingers after packing and get a sweet treat!

You can say it's a quality tobacco as soon you open the tin your greeted with shiny golden glowing Virginia's fine cuts you cannot resist but smile... which smells very very good. I have been through half of the tin and pleasure grows with every bowl i smoke! As tin says Fine Davidoff's Special Blend of the finest tobaccos... and it's true.

Davidoff - Danish Mixture.

When I'm in the mood for a tasty aromatic this is guaranteed to deliver what I want!

When the tin is cracked open the aroma is a perfect suggestion of what's on its way. It smells figgy, nutty, sweet and mouth watering! The blend is perfect to smoke straight from the can as it's neither too wet nor too dry. The ribbons are a medium/golden brown, there's one or two dash's of black in there but it's mostly medium/golden brown.

I like to gravity feed this into my bowl and try not to pack it too tightly; that causes it difficulty with the burn. As long as it's packed well getting Danish lit is a piece of cake; a quick toast, a short run on full blast and then "hey presto".. there it is: a good, even and steady burn.

The smoke from this has got to be one of my favourite aromatic's. Although it's sweet from the honey, it isn't gluey or sickly. The walnut works incredibly well with the natural nuttiness from the Burley, keeping it from seeming too sugary or sweet. It seems as though this is the complete antithesis of Sam Gawith's new Demerara Flake; that has a lot of sweetness alone with very little extra taste whereas this has quite a little amount of 'sweetness only' with a good amount of flavour to it.

There's not really much nicotine from this. It seems to be very mild unless I draw the guts out of my pipe.

A bowl of this burns relatively slow. This is great to sit and unwind with if I want something to relax me!

Very simple to rate..... highly recommended, four stars.

I love Virginia blends and this is a good one. Upon opening the tin I was greeted with notes or raisins, figs, plums, etc. The tobacco packed easily and stayed lit throughout, with a good volume of smoke. Surprisingly, I was able to smell/taste the raisins, figs, plums, etc. as I smoked. I was looking for a Virginia with a pinch of pepper in the background and found it with this mixture. Like all Davidoff tobaccos, the quality is outstanding, and I definitely recommend you try this one. This tobacco will stay in my rotation.

All of the boys here have said way more than I could possibly better. Davidoff is known for its quality, and they have certainly delivered on this number. Good smoke. Burns and smokes well, with a very pleasant taste and after note. Personally, for what it is, I couldn't ask for any more. It's an excellent product, carefully constructed and delivers and excellent pipe smoke. Very well crafted. Highly recommended for a light aromatic.

Bought a tin of this one in Paris as I was looking for a decent aromatic at the tobacconist and apparently bulk tobacco is unheard-of in France. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised! Very mild flavor and an amazing room note. Gives off the scent you think of when you imagine 'aromatic pipe tobacco'. I say it's mild, but not in a bad way at all.. no zing or bite even if pushed. I find the moisture perfect out of the tin but it must be gravity fed loosely and packed only on the top to start. The ribbon cut packs nicely and stays lit. The smoke smelled so good my wife even asked to try it and did! Definitely one I would buy again I just wish it was a bit cheaper, available in bulk, or both. You can tell when smoking that this is top quality stuff.

I now keep several tins of this cellared.

Surprisingly mild and well-balanced aromatic with slightly sweet aroma and flavours. Presentation is of mostly light honey-coloured ribbons, with perfect level of moisture. Easy to pack and light. Leaves fine ash and does not bite until pushed. Some users commented on presence of cavendish - it actually is minor (at least in comarison to Davidoff's Red Mixture). What I mostly detected are blended virginias with some burley and a hint of cavendish. Flavouring is subtle and not very complex. It tends towards figs and raisins, which remain consistent throughout the bowl without any late bitterness. This consistency earns "Danish Mixture" top marks from me. Whether or not you like mild aromatics, the quality of tobacco used by Davidoff for his pipe blends is high and consistently reliable. The cut is fine but retains enough structure to allow long, consistent smoke. For those of us who live in places where pipe tobacco is expensive or hard to find, it is a blessing that Davidoff blends are available as duty free when travelling.

This was my first take on Davidoff tobacco, and I was not disappointed, I love the smell and the flavor. Definitely added to my favorites.
