Davidoff Scottish Mixture

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

Hello everybody.

Don't really know why the hell did I fall again in these kinda aromatized things.

Nothing special to underline here neither bad nor good. I do not sense the oriental as long as I lack kentucky punch. If they are really there they must be hidden quite well. The casing, which I found soapy and overwhelming on opening the tin, disappear troughout the bowl and that's good news. Unfortunately its place is never taken by any other news. Mild in strength and in "soul" I'd say.

I puffed rather slow and it doesn't bite, and this is the only other good thing I found.

I don't feel I'll have to recommend it, nor blame it to death. I only keep asking myself where might be the whiskey they talked about. 🙂

This is the lightest tobacco I have ever smoked. Let it dry for a few minutes and smoke it in your largest bowl to bring out the best this blend has to offer. The taste is somewhere between Darjeeling tea and walnut, neither of which I care for very much. The room note is walnut.

This tobacco is so light, you can comfortably smoke it at the office. The office is the only place where I would smoke this, because there are better options available for any other situation. This is my least favourite of the Davidoff offerings, and I won't buy it again. If you like a light smoke, Davidoff Danish Mixture is a better choice.

A very mild smoke. Perhaps timid is the word. Mac Baren's Mixture kicks this ones butt. After smoking a pipe of this, I honestly munched a handful of peanuts to make sure my tastebuds were still there and working. Yep. I taste peanuts. Packed a different pipe full of this stuff and tried again. Not because I liked it so much, but because I had to solve the mystery of the missing flavor. That and I could not believe something from Davidoff would come out so insipid. So much for brand familiarity. I find Mac Baren replacing several other brands lately, and not just because my local tobacco store is heavily laden with Mac Baren offerings.

If Mac Baren Mixture scottish blend is too strong for you, this could be what you're looking for. Packs nice. Smokes a little warm. Don't pack it too tight - you won't get any more flavor out of it that way.

This one smells very nice in the tin, sometimes has a sweet and nutty taste which I like, and rome note is good !

But despite my best efforts to puff as slow as possible and find a way to get the best of it, Scottish Mixture bites the tongue and smokes hot. A few weeks later, thing have gotten worse : the topping is now, well, weird, while the smoke is still hot and harsh.

I will not finish the tin, and of course will never buy another tin. This is a disappointement. It seems to work for some people though...

This blend is my least fav. from Davidoff .It's not a bad blend ...it's just that it dosent stand out for me .Was a little warm but not scortching . The whiskey to me was a little sour .... There's so many blends out there and many aren't bad . wouldnt go out of my way to try it again

pipesrevisited summarized well.

edit: tried with meerschaum, smokes cooler, but still not for me

My first pipe blend after coming from cigars (that's why I chose Davidoff). A bit cigarette-ish for my tastes, but not bad. Smells lovely in the tin, but doesn't take much of the flavour with it into the smoke. It's growing on me, though.
