W.Ø. Larsen Standard Mixture No. 01 Pipe tobacco 100g Tin

Manufacturer Description:
Selected Maryland, Virginia and Burley tobaccos are prepared separately and improved. The especially broad texture of the wild cut takes up the natural flavor of the exotic Mango fruit particularly well and perfects the mild, fresh fruity taste. Mixed cut.

Characterisation:
The Standard Mixture No. 01 is a mixture of light to medium brown tobacco varieties with few black components. The tobaccos are very different cut both in length and in width, and partly broken. When you open the tin a sweet fruity smell streams out that smells distinctly of mango, but also with a touch of vanilla. The actual smell of tobacco can’t be seen. The Standard Mixture No. 01 is initially a bit dampish, so you should let him vent a little before plugging.

Plugging:
The Standard Mixture No. 01 could be stuffed very well. Due to the diverse types of cuts you should let it trickle in portions into the bowl and press gently layer by layer. The Standard Mixture No. 01 should not be too tightly stuffed, as it slightly expands after light up.

Light up:
The Standard Mixture No. 01 can be easily lighted up with 1 to 2 flames. Here, individual tobacco fibers straighten up, so you should slightly flatten the surface with the tamper. A relighting is usually not necessary.

Smoking  properties:
After light up a fruity-sweet, slightly sparkling taste unfolds. The mango aroma dominates in the taste too and I would suspect a hint of vanilla. The flavors are a bit weakened by Virginia and Burley so that the tobacco does not taste too sweet. The Standard Mixture No. 01 glows down rather good-natured, but should not be smoked too hot, otherwise the flavors are not as easily recognizable. The aroma is quiet stable, which towards the end the taste is a slight bitterness. Glowing down is even with some condensate development and the remaining ash is medium gray.

Redolency:
The redolence of the Standard Mixture No. 01 is more sweet than fruity. The flavors here largely displace the smell of tobacco, with maybe a touch of Burley as a nutty tart note is still noticeable. Mango is in the redolence not so clearly present, but recognizable. The room note is overall very pleasant because it is neither too sweet nor too heavy as pure tobacco. The Standard Mixture No. 01 is a typical society tobacco.

Conclusion:
The Standard Mixture No. 01 is a mixture of light to medium brown tobacco varieties with few black components. The somehow wild cut, partially broken mixture develops a sweet, fruity smell, which also reminiscent of vanilla next to Mango. The tobacco is rather dampish and should be left a while on the air before plugging. Plugging and light up are easy and glowing down is good-natured and evenly. To get the best of the flavors, some attention should be paid to the temperature. Then the Standard Mixture No. 01 tastes pleasantly fruity with a hint of sweet vanilla probable. The Standard Mixture No. 01 glows down with some condensate and the remaining ash is medium gray. Due to the lightness, the easy handling, pleasant room note and pleasant taste the Standard Mixture No. 01 is a tobacco for all occasions which can be recommended both the experienced smokers and beginners.
