HU Tobacco White Dog
(3.50)
The White Dog is comprised of various loose cut Virginias, and a small portion of a ready rubbed Virginia. The result is a light and sweet, yet spicy Virginia blend with a discreet spicy wood casing, which further emphasizes the natural character of this mixture, and gives it tension. White Dog is a great Virginia blend which leaves no wishes open.

White Dog is one of those tobaccos Hans Wiedemann is and will be known for: It doesn't seem to fit into categories. I like English as well as aromatics depending on mood and daytime, so I was curious what a discreet spicy wood casing could possibly taste like.
Regarding the tin note I found myself searching for freshly cut pieces of wood/fir in the mix. It has a slightly sweet and at the same time smoky scent. The condition of the fresh tin, handling and lighting were flawless and easy. The aroma and taste reminded me of a forest fire, combined with natural sweetness of the Virginias and something very reminiscent of a freshly heated sauna… . It is a courageous move to throw a blend like this on the market and the quality is undoubted. Just not to my personal taste. I am glad to have tried it and will finish the tin, but not necessarily buy another one. I recommend White Dog to pipe smokers, who are curious about this kind of flavor and to those, who don't like traditional candy or fruit flavorings.
