Holger Danske Amber Magic
(3.20)
Ribbon cut Virginias are carefully blended with a black Cavendish, and for the balance of the blend a touch of Burley is added. A soft and mild vanilla taste is what the pipe smoker will experience when lighting the pipe.
Notes: Previously blended in Germany by Planta. Currently blended in Denmark by Mac Baren.
Previously known as "Magic Vanilla". The name was changed to "Amber Magic" due to EU regulations.

Holger Danske - Magic Vanilla.
The unlit mixture has a sanguine smell to it where you can detect both the vanilla with a sweet fruit like addition as well. The moistness is of an impressive amount with it not being too much or too little. The mixture is a good distribution of the different sorts of tobacco to look at, being a mostly black Cavendish with about 40% Virginia/Burley.
This is superb in the area of lighting, it gets going on the first touch of the flame and stays lit well. As it burns down what you get left behind is a very white ash in the bowl whilst all along the smoke given off is delightful! There are a few reasons for me using the word delightful, firstly temperature, quite a cool smoke throughout. Next point is tongue bite, not any all the way through. Flavour? Perfect: I get a very sumptuous Black Cavendish sweetness and a beautiful/soft Vanilla aromatic taste while in the background there is a pleasing zesty addition of oranges (not at all harsh, only a hint to bring some liveliness to it). Vitamin N is again great, think Orlik Golden Sliced level. The room note is quite heavy, but pleasant as it is mainly Black Cavendish sweetness with a slight Orange smell too. Due to the aromatic side of it the pipe can gain a ghost if over smoked so maybe dedicate a pipe to it. Other than that this is a really high quality aromatic to sit and relax with!
Four stars.
