Davidoff Scottish Mixture

Smooth, little sweet and light to smoke. it would be a nice smoke, but it got a really bad SOUR aftertaste that lasts for hours in my mouth.

Beacause of this aftertaste I wouldn't recommend.

This tin was dusty when purchased, aged 18 months, had proper seal, still a tad dry when opened.

Tin note somewhat Flake Medallion -like: fruitcakeish. Atypical perhaps if Dav, some sizeable stems, woody bits.

Flavoring all but gone post-char, decent base tobaccos, which took several bowls for me to discern. Here I'd hazard a guess that by removing the Turk component, it would make a smokeable VaBur. Burns very hot even at idle, tongue bite not a problem though.

As it is this blend is not flat...exactly, but its monotonous enough to be a one-tin wonder. I'll finish the tin, but won't be revisiting.

I had high expectations of this Davidoff offering, after I had a few tins of Flake Medaillons, but it disappointed. The flavor might be anything, but Whiskey, but there is a bitter taste undertone, which reminds me of Borkum Riff. Other than that, it burnt fine, tasted like warm air and I was glad, when the tin was gone. Will definitely not buy again.

This is a light and very faint aromatic. The taste of the scotch disappears as I smoke the bowl, leaving the barest hints of any scots whiskey. My wife thinks the room is sweet and light. I agree. I cant detect much of an aroma even after all day in my truck. While I like this tobacco, I am probably not going to buy this again. There are others with more strength and taste that I prefer. But again, this would be a great light all day smoke.

A mixture that is not bad except when compared to other similar mixtures. It is smoked with pleasure and ... with some care, since although it cannot be said that it is a tobacco that bites, it heats the pipe and is not absolutely harmless to the tongue. The aromatic component is more noticeable in the tin than during smoking, without this meaning that it goes unnoticed. The flavor is quite good and what predominates in it is virginia with the soft touch of liquor. If there were no other mixtures I could smoke more of this, but since there are many better mixes I don't think I will repeat this one.

Tin note is light and floral, which is typical of an oriental forward blend. The scotch is also noticeable, but not overwhelming. Medium sized ribbons pack and light easily. The orientals and scotch are balanced pretty well. I'm typically not a fan of whiskey flavored blends, but you can tell that the quality of the ingredients put this blend into a higher category than most whisky flavored blends. Burns well, and as with most blends, is much better when you smoke it slower. First few bowls didn't impress me all that much, but as I made my way through the tin, it began to grow on me. I still don't think that whiskey flavored blends are my thing, but if they were, this would probably be one of my go to blends.

A l'ouverture de la boite, il y a une odeur de whisky, une odeur résineuse subtile, le tout ponctué de touches épicées dues à l'Oriental. Les arômes sont légers, a l'inverse des tabacs saucés. Pour vous donner une image, cela sent un peu "le baril de whisky vide"; une odeur légère et évaporée d'alcool associée à l'humidité du bois qui l'a contenue, avec en arrière plan une note épicée qui vient rehausser le tout. Le tabac est plutôt compact dans la boite, relativement sec en surface et plus humide en dessous. La coupe semi fine rend le bourrage aisé et le tabac peu être fumé directement. L'allumage est facile et le fumage linéaire. Au fumage il s'avère qu'on retrouve bien le whisky , arrondi par le côté boisé et un fond de tourbe. Une note légèrement épicée vient s'ajouter en plus en arrière plan, sans s'accentuer pour autant vers la fin du bol. Le goût général n'est pas très moelleux, plutôt sec même, et le fumage relativement linéaire. La fumée est peu compacte et le goût ne reste pas longtemps en bouche. Pour conclure, un voyage à l'image des Highlands; vert et vallonné, un arôme de scotch et cette petite note épicée à l'image de la lande couverte de fougères et de bruyères. En bref un aromatique léger. Voici pour moi la deuxième boite Davidoff que j'ouvre et c'est une nouvelle déception. Pas dans la qualité des tabacs employés, loin de là. C'est la saveur de type "Scottish" qui ne me convient pas. Je ne suis pas fan de whisky en général, puis j'ai trouvé le fumage un peu sec m'attendant a un peu plus de moelleux et de rondeur en bouche. J'ai donc moyennement apprécié ce tabac, je n'en rachèterai pas.

I've never cared for whisky, particularly Scotch.

But that's ok, this doesn't taste of it !

Actually other than the barest suggestion at lighting up time this tobacco has no taste at all.

This is suprising as Davidoffs do a good tobacco. The Danish is great, and their Blue n' Reds are rather mild but at least have something about them.

The tin aroma almost saves this one, but not quite. I pushed this harder than usual and got no bite. Have to say it burns well all the tasteless way to the bottom of the bowl.

Not a memorable tobacco. Disappointing from Davidoffs.

in my country there are not many choises of pipe tobaccos and most of them are aromatics so this one was my first "real" tobacco after the aromatic. it's an easy semi-aromatic tobacco to start with as it has a nice cut to pack easy and doesnt need to dry much before. i enjoyed it as long as it lasted and never smoked my rolling tobacco since but i wouldn't buy it again. i've smoked more tobaccos since then and i can say it's not that good to justify its high price.
