In light of the small batch Resolution release from C&D, I realize I don't know what makes a blend "Danish"
Any insight?

It’s just made by someone from Denmark
They are all made by someone named Hans.
I think of something with sweet fruity or confectionery topping, but not cherry or cocoa. With cherry or cocoa I think American codger

While, yes, country of origin is really the crux of it, but to me there is also a stereotypical Danish aromatic ”identity”: A fine/shag-cut mild aromatic, where the flavoring perhaps takes precedence over the tobacco flavor.
Just for fun, here is a response from ChatGPT: Danish Blend Tobacco typically refers to a type of tobacco blend that is popular in Denmark and has a distinct flavor profile. It is made by combining Virginia, Burley, and dark-fired Kentucky tobaccos, which are then flavored with various fruit extracts, such as apple or cherry, and sometimes with a hint of vanilla or caramel. The resulting blend is generally considered to be mild and sweet, with a slightly nutty or earthy flavor, and a pleasant aroma. Danish Blend Tobacco is often used in pipe smoking, but it can also be found in cigars and other tobacco products.
From ChatGPT:
Danish blends and American aromatic blends are two different types of tobacco blends that have distinct characteristics.
Danish blends are typically made with Virginia, Burley, and dark-fired Kentucky tobaccos, which are then flavored with fruit extracts and sometimes vanilla or caramel. These blends are known for their mild, sweet flavor, with notes of nuttiness and earthiness, and a pleasant aroma. Danish blends are often favored by pipe smokers and are known for their quality and consistency.
On the other hand, American aromatic blends are typically made with Virginia, Burley, and Cavendish tobaccos, which are then heavily flavored with a range of sweeteners, such as honey, maple syrup, and cherry. These blends are known for their strong, sweet flavor and aroma, with a very noticeable room note. They are popular among new and occasional smokers who enjoy the sweet flavor and smell.
In summary, Danish blends are generally milder and less heavily flavored than American aromatic blends. They have a more complex and nuanced flavor profile, while American aromatics are more straightforward and heavily sweetened. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and the desired smoking experience.

Thought you posted What makes a blond Danish for a second.
It has to come from the tobacco blending region of Denmark. Otherwise it’s just sparkling aromatic blend.
When I hear Danish blend, I think aromatic, and run hard in the opposite direction. That's the space it occupies in my head.....maybe a little simplistic.
An aromatic blend specially made to pair with Cherry Heering, of course. ChatGPT doesn't know jack. 
It's funny because that's the reason I ordered some of it in a way. I have bad bite from sutliff tobaccos, which I think has made a lot of Danish blends. C and D sits well with me so I had to give it a shot and pull the trigger.
Yup. Mediocre and bitey as fuck. With a hint of fruit.
No
Knud, Malthe or Viggo are danish. Hans is german, often short for Johannes. I know, i know, i know, it was a joke, sorry.
That Chat GPT doesn’t have a clue and has read to much advertising. You won’t hardly find dark fired Kentucky in a danish blend, instead it’s quite similar to American aromatics main ingredients are Virginias and Black Cavendish with few burley, if any at all. And of course fruity and spicy aromas. Think of Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake or think of Stanwell tobaccos, think of W.O. Larsen - Black Diamond…
