Dan Tobacco Perfect Blend
(2.50)
Aiming too high? Certainly not! This blend can hardly be surpassed: Just opening the tin is a feast for the eye. Rich and aromatic, full bodied bouquet, a smooth and gentle smoke.
Notes: Identical casing as "Sweet Vanilla Honeydew".

It takes some nerve to call any pipe tobacco perfect.
The first thing that came to my mind when I opened the tin was that Perfect Blend smells a lot like Sweet Vanilla Honeydew. And in fact, the casing and top flavor appear to be exactly the same, the only difference being that this ready rubbed mixture consists mainly of Black Cavendish and just a few sprinkles of Virginia. Anyhow, the sweet scent of Vanilla is overpowering with just a tinge of brown bread and honey underneath.
Don't pack your pipe too tightly with this one. I prefer the Frank method. It takes two or three lights to get it burning evenly. After that it needs to be smoked coolly and with care. This is a full bodied, creamy smoke with a distinct sweet vanilla taste, which strangely seems more dominating to me than in Sweet Vanilla Honeydew. The tobacco appears to get stronger towards the end of the bowl.
The room note is rich and sweet. It's a crowd pleaser.
Is this blend really perfect? Certainly not, but it's a good quality aromatic that'll appeal to those like to smoke custard.
