While some blends by Jess Chonowitsch have turned out to be small masterpieces, others just leave me confounded. T12 of course belongs to the latter category. Typisch dänisch all right, exhaling quantities of Irish Cream and English Allsorts from the tin enough to hide the natural aroma, if any. In combustion, the amount of oriental leaf just suffices to yield a cigarettish character to the otherwise enjoyable combination of bright virginias and black cavendish. Good burning qualities (cf. below) further benefited from using meerschaum pipes instead of briar. The tobacco is not mild by any means, a good medium in both strength and taste.
There's an aspect to T12 that I have to show gratitude for. For many years, I feared I had become immune to the dreaded tongue bite. Now that was not the case by any means. After the first bowls of T12 I was literally bleeding from the gums and the palate. Reasonable precautions should be taken, including consideration of not opening the tin.
