Ilsted - Own No.100.
It's a medium brown, quite well broken flake. The smell from this is super sweet, with a really zesty fruitiness.
In the smoke the fruity topping’s running the show, this outweighs the vanilla. The fruits form a flavour which is reminiscent of a fruity cocktail. The vanilla lends a creamy edge to the flavour, rather than a full-on stickiness. I actually find the fruity topping masks the tobacco flavours, somewhat, I only get a touch of the tobaccos in comparison. Despite the heavier topping tongue bite stays out of the game.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.
No.100? Two stars:
Somewhat recommended.

Typical standard Kohlhase & Kopp aromatic. Vanilla with some fruit, not overpowering. Solid tobaccos but nothing great. Not bad but nothing special. One among hundets. Like always with a pleasing roomnote (maybe the main reason why these tobaccos are widely smoked). A bit harsh sometimes, better be smoked with an active charcole filter.

The two stars is my own bias, because this is too much of an aromatic for me, even though I am smoking a 12 year old tin. The tin seemed intact, but the tobacco was dried out inside, and I had to bring it back with some organic black cherry juice. It bites me, but aro lovers might love it, and I may be smoking from a compromised tin, though the topping seems to have survived the 12 years quite strongly! It is indeed fruit/citrus.
Right now, I'm smoking a half-and-half of this with C&D Pirate Kake, a Lat-Bomb at 70%. I think this may be how I get through this tin: the Latakia takes away the bite for me, and turns it into a Latakia aromatic, which works better for me than a bitey aromatic. Almost three stars when that high-Latakia Pirate Kake is added!
I have doused the remainder in a jar with some Malibu Coconut. Since it is not really a blend for me, I might as well make it even wilder, and use it to blend up some CRAZY Latakia aromatics!
10-7-12: The Latakia aromatic I made with this was so good, I went ahead and mixed up the rest with an equal amount of Pirate Kake, getting about 3.5 ounces out of it, I guess, and put it in a jar in a drawer to meld. So, this is the sort of thing I'll do from now on with aromatics I can't smoke-I turned something I would have had to force myself to smoke, or give away, into something I can smoke all the time. Four stars for my blend; though I say it myself, who shouldn't?
