I start with the background story; in Iceland we have only three pipe tobaccos:
- Special Dublin
- Half & half
- Skandinavik mixture
Before MacBaren Scottish mixture was instead of Skandinavik which is... At least it has a taste. Today I was at downtown and I forgot to take tobacco with me. So I stopped at the tobacco store and bought a pack of Skandinavik mixture as this is the only one from the local product range I haven't tried. I opened the pack and it had almost no smell. I packed my pipe and started to smoke. If I didn't see the smoke I would think that it is not even burning. It had absolutely no taste! After I arrived home in the evening I gave it another try in another pipe but the result is the same. It burns quite fast and it leaves only some weak taste of virginia with a touch of chemicals. Has any of you tried it? Maybe it is only me but I have never experienced so tasteless tobacco like this.
