Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Sweet Dublin Irish Whisky (Yellow)

I bought this one a little randomly while I was looking to diversify my tobaccos. I've been a pipe smoker for over 20 years and I'm not a big fan of aromatic tobaccos. But I smoke whiskey aromatics from time to time, with pleasure, since as a young man I discovered Peterson Irish Whiskey and Davidoff Scottish Mixture, two old loves...
The Special Dublin Mixture (that's its new name in the pouch version) is, let's say it right now, inferior to these two. But it's also a bit cheaper and, for the price it costs, quite lovable.
The thick and airtight pouch allows perfect conservation, I opened mine almost two years after purchase and it was still perfectly fragrant and moist. Speaking of humidity, I recommend leaving the pouch wide open for a few hours before smoking the first pipe.
The ribbon cut is classic, rather thin and short, it allows you to easily pack your pipe. A large percentage of mild Virginia, and a little bit of black Cavendish (20%?) to strengthen the tobacco, but it remains a light blend.
The whiskey topping smells strong when opening the pouch, but its taste is not very strong in the mouth. You can still smell it when you smoke. Honey is rather difficult to detect, except for the sweet taste which can tingle the tongue if you inhale too hard. By the way, let's warn beginners who often smoke too quickly, there is a risk of a small bite, as with all aromatics...
The nic hit is mild, everyone can try this without fear, no headache expected.
The smoke from combustion is very light and the room note is pleasant, the kind that those around you easily appreciate. The smell quickly disappears from the house after smoking, if you open the window for a few minutes.
For pipe tobacco specialists and experienced pipe smokers, this will not be their favorite of the year! But it is an unpretentious tobacco, not unpleasant, which can be smoked from time to time to diversify the experiences...
