Davidoff Scottish Mixture

A very good tobacco, with fine taste and note! No intense flavors...natural taste! Ideal to smoke every hour! You can pair it with a cup of coffee, not with alcohol since it isn’t strong!

Some blends are best when aged or given a little time to mellow. This isn't one of those.

I have tried this both 'fresh' and aged and although aging does slightly enhance some of the wine-like Virginia aroma, practically everything else fades. This is a 'smoke-now' tobacco.

Smoked fresh, it is delicious and rewarding and though not strong in nicotine, rewards in every other area. Complex flavour, pleasant room note, rich smoke, great burn.

I didn’t really sense a topping in the tin note, just hay from the Virginias, dark chocolate from the Burleys and a sort of sour note from the Orientals. Frank method, char light, true light and from then on almost carefree to its ashy end. I get well distinguishable tobaccos in taste, which can be considered an indication of high quality ingredients. The room note and everything else is about the tobaccos.

The Whisky casing is so mild, that it’s gone every time I think I sense it. Very pleasing and a nice reset for my taste buds. The Scottish Mixture does not bite, but is of good medium strength to me. A high quality, very honest and solid smoke. Recommended.

you know how you fall in love with a women only to realize that its a fling while having a women around that you eventually fall in love with. Well this is what we have here. I fell in love with davidoff royalty only to loose interest in it after a while. while having the Scottish mixture around which i didn't initially like only to find myself reaching for the tin every single day. It is sweet, it is creamy, it spicy, and most of all it is consistent. Though i didn't get much whisky flavor out of it but i got much much more than that. For one it is a forgiving blend, smoke it to hard and it will tell you to slow down. I truly hope people give it another try

I really like this blend. The smell out of the tin is fantastic, it packs and lights easily, and stays lit. I did not get any tongue bite whatsoever with this blend, and it smokes all the way down to the end of the bowl with a fine grey ash.

One thing I LOVE about it though, is the sweet taste you get mid- bowl. I sip this slow in a church warden, and the flavors really shine when smoked gently. And that sweet taste I talked about earlier is simply fantastic. Nice cool, sweet smoke.

I don't care about the room note as I smoke this to please myself, and it pleases me just fine.

A quite decent blend, I would use this as an all day smoke, nice on the palate, hard to keep lit sometimes, but other than that I really enjoy it. Nice on the palate good flavor, needs a little rubbing out but thats half the fun sometimes. I definitely recommend this to a beginner, due to the fact that it has almost no bite at all, and it doesn't make a mess in your pipe. I think three stars is well deserved.

(Edit June 2, 2016) Its been six years since I've had this blend. I would say that this was my first really good tobacco. It was my first tinned tabac, that's for sure. Anyway, six years later, I am missing this blend...The aroma was so unique and the top notes of "Scotch" combined with all of the other flavor profiles were so singularly...special. Maybe it's nostalgia that makes this blend seem better than it might be, as it reminds me of great times, but I just remember finding such pleasure in this blend.

Wonderful mixture of quality tobaccos, being Virginia and Burley the main components, lightly spiced with Orientals and a definite but mild touch of whiskey. Very little tongue bite, great burning qualities and a mellow taste that's neither sweet nor bitter due to a perfect balance. Scotish mixtures are vaguely defined in the world of pipes, but when I think of this category, Davidoff's is the most representative in my mind.

Although I know some smokers may cringe, I prefer this blend in a corncob and with a Guinness Extra Stout. It claims to have a taist of Scotch, but as a single malt lover, I beg to differ. The flavering is by no means unpleasent, but a far cry from resembling scotch.

The ribbon cut is easy to pack and lite, and doesn't need airing/drying before shuving in and stricking your flint! It burns cool with no bite. I have been smoking this blend out on the lake in windy conditions with no stove cover, and hasn't burned through. You'd think ribbon would burn hotter, but not here.

I've used two tins, but have two more aging in my stash.

This Scottish Mixture by Davidoff has been on the market for some time because I first bought it 30 years ago. I remember it then said on the tin: "Made in Holland"(where I live as well) so it could have been made by Niemeyer. Who produces it now I cannot tell. The mixture is about the same as then (although all tobacco's were rather better in the old days) with the same whisky and chocolate/coffee notes, and very tasty for that matter. Indeed, the cut does resemble Plumcake but from there on, the two are worlds apart. This is much smoother on the palate and burns rather better, whereas Plumcake is a biter if you're not careful. I do recommend this fine mixture to lovers of a quality aromatic. Rob.
