Holger Danske Original Tobacco
(2.67)
Ribbon cut Virginias are carefully blended with some Black Cavendish, and for the balance of the blend a touch of Burley and a spicy Perique are added. As it has only very little flavor the blend offers the natural taste of the tobaccos.
Notes: Previously blended in Germany by Planta. Currently blended in Denmark by Mac Baren.

I still look for inexpensive but tasty tobacco for everyday smoking like Schippers Tabak but with another taste. Holger Danske Original Tobacco definitely does not belong to this category. By the way, pipe tobacco is not so popular in Belgium and there are mostly Mac Baren varieties from inexpensive blends. By buying Holger Danske Original Tobacco you will get a pouch of hay. Tobacco itself smells sour and I cannot tell what it's like. The smoke tastes slightly and smells strongly like burning hay. If you do not have a lot of money to buy something good and need to choose what to put in your pipe - this or hay, put hay, because hay will not bite your tongue. Like all Mac Baren blends, it bites a lot, so I would not recommend it for beginners or those who cannot tolerate Virginia and Cavendish. I think this blend was the last I have ever tried from Mac Baren.
UPDATE: I tried to smoke it using a charcoal filter but it still bit and the taste turned to sour like candies that explode in the mouse with an acidity bursting.
