Sørensen SØRENSEN Mixture
(3.50)
Black cavendish, light Virginias, and spiced burley is used in this mixture. The sight of this mixture contrast filled pipe tobacco sharpens the senses to the experienced smoker, and is only superseded by the flavor of vanilla and honey. A mild, but very aromatic mixture with guaranteed a balanced burn rate. The aroma is wonderful and quite pleasant.
Notes: NORWAY

After my father was introduced to pipe smoking, he bought a tin for me to taste during his visit to Oslo. Not being particularly fond of aromatics, given my previous experiences, I was somewhat sceptical, but also eager to try a “Norwegian” blend.
It has a velvety smoke, with taste of cream and caramel atop mellow tobacco flavours, delivered on a medium body. The tin aroma is much the same, but slightly sweeter due to the vanilla casing.
It smokes like an aromatic, though, and will need a relight before settling, and the pipe might need a proper cleaning post-smoke. (Which means I will dedicate a pipe solely for aromatics from now on, in case I stumble upon another I deem smoke-worthy).
What strikes me with this particular blend, is the way the added flavour play with the natural tobacco flavours to accentuate the creamy nuttiness of the burley and sweetness of the Virginia, instead of undermining them in an unnatural casing (I’m looking at you, Solani Blue and Rattray Wallace).
All in all, it is what it is, but very pleasant (especially the room note), despite it being overly expensive due to Norwegian taxation.

M.Sørensen Mixture is Perhaps the most known of the tobbaccos they sell in Their store in Bergen. It can be found on their website as well. The flavour is not overpowering, But rather compliments the tobbacco. This has been my go to blend as I live relatively close to the store.
I smoked this as new, however I have cellared a few tins and will Get back with a review of the aged tobbacco
