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.

Another decent, yet decidedly unmemorable, tobacco from Holger-Danske.
There's nothing wrong with the vaguely fruity aroma issuing from the (rather mean, yet popular sized) pouch of 40g. But when you are paying less than 6 euros on the continent there's not a lot to grumble about.
Very little flavour to be had here and It's a very average blend that you'd expect from a cheap blend, but there are worse and almost certainly better than this one.
With blends like this it is best to smoke all in one go. Returning to a cold pipe and relighting will show up the cheapness of this blend and bite, hard.
That said, if I had access to this blend and at the price I have specified, I'd probably buy this as a staple, rather than comparable blends.

The pouch note is that of dried hay, promising a cool, light smoke, and delivering on that promise too. Virginias are the main players here, so much so that the cavendish only adds a bit of sweetness to the mixture while the burley and perique are pretty much unnoticeable. Semi-coarse cut lights and burns well, while tongue-bite is totally nonexistent, even if puffed hard.
Overall a very light, easy, uncomplicated smoke with a bit of sweetness in it; would recommend to beginners.
Not a favourite but would buy again if in the mood for lighter fare, and good enough to make me want to try out the other Holger Danskes too.
