Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation 1957

A classy, and we'll thought out aromatic blend. Obviously, much effort went into dialing in just the right amounts of ingredients. It's not one of those in-your-face aromatics that you might be used to. Tin note is sweet, smoke is sweet, and burns effortlessly. No tongue bite even after 2 bowls back to back. 4 stars! Very impressive! Recommended.

Same as everyone else, so not much else to say. Nice and mellow, vanilla or toasted marshmallowy. No bite. A small amount of spice, just to remind you that this is tobacco you are enjoying. I like a discreet confrontation sometimes (in a pipe tobacco) and this fits the bill when I do. Gets even friendlier after a year in the tin. This is one of my favorites from day one.

One of my favorites! If you are searching sweet taste and an everyday tobacco, I believe this it could be one of your best choices! Give it a try!

1957 is a textbook Danish aromatic, and Erik Stokkebye should know how to make one. It consists of ribbon cut bright Virginia and Burley with tiny amounts of Cavendish. It's gently topped as compared to American style aromatics, but it keeps a good flavor throughout. Very pleasant for bystanders, but the tobacco taste comes through for the piper - kind of the best of both worlds. It burns very cool and extra dry.

This is a fine blend to have a tin or two of.

This review comes after smoking this blend over two years at various stages of aging. This blend was was recommended by a tobacconist at my local JR's B&M.

I was new to pipe smoking when I bought my first tin of this, and to be honest I did not like it at first. I packed it into an airtight jar and set it aside and continued to smoke my favorite Englishes. A couple of months later I smoked a bowl, and I have loved it ever since.

Here are the reasons that I love this blend so much. To start with, the blend is so mild that it can be smoked all day long. I have not come across another blend that I can say the same for. It ages beautifully. Each time a smoke a bowl from the same cellared batch it's better than before. I don't yet know when this blend peaks, but it gets consistently better with time. The flavor is great. It isn't as complex as some other blends that I've smoked, but it does have some things going on throughout the bowl. I get more than one flavor and more than one character. For example, at moments I get a taste of something like bourbon or some other liquor. That leads me to the next thing that I love about this blend. This blend has an amazing ability to pair with a wide variety of beverages. I like my drink now and then, and whether it's a frosty lager or a strong bourbon, this blend will go smoothly with it. The body of the smoke is just right. I wouldn't call it a full-bodied smoke like many Cavendish blends are, but it's not on the light side either. Packed properly, a bowl of 1957 will burn all the way through with only a couple of relights, if not just the initial light.

All in all, I consider 4th Generation 1957 to be a stellar tobacco.

This one is a good one if you want a light aromatic with a good quality, mild tobacco. Comes a little wet out of the tin (at least the one I got) but a day in a pouch and it's good to go in my opinion. Won't bite unless you provoke it... won't offend and has a good soft room note. Will still burn just fine directly from the tin and has the strongest flavor of casing. A very light aromatic for an all-day smoke with true tobacco flavors.

Extraordinary Tobacco... one of the finest Aromatic Virginia blends I have ever tasted. I prefer the lighter tobaccos for my daily smoke and I often reach this or the 1897 as my "go to". I don't feel I can add anymore insight to the flavors or tin aromas that haven't already been covered. I do feel that this is a world away from Captain Black or Mac Baren's 7 Seas, both of these are fine for what they are, but this is absolutely in a different class.

I went into this thinking one more vanilla blend. Opened a new tin and the tobacco smells great. No problem lighting and no problem keeping the tobacco lit. l like when i can enjoy the tobacco taste over the flavoring and this tobacco delivered. Complex and smooth no bite and a great room note. I will buy this again it is a pleasure to smoke.

This is a fully rubbed out mild, smooth and cool smoking aromatic pipe tobacco, perfect for beginners. If you are not a beginner this does not have much to offer. Although I am not an aromatic pipe smoker and prefer pressed tobaccos, I highly recommend this tobacco for beginners, it is excellent for what it is.
