Peter Stokkebye 81 Danish Export

Peter Stokkebye 81 Danish Export was recommended several times for something light on it's own and that mixes well with others. Absolutely hits the nail on the head. Pipes and Cigars' shipping has been quick and on point everytime.

I purchased this thinking that it might be a good alternative to PS 80 Norwegian and PS 701 Virginia to change things up - especially because 701 was out of stock at the time. While I am not entirely disappointed, it is not a great Virginia blend and by means is as great as the 80 Norwegian or 701 Virginia. I am smoking it in a Viking pipe now as I type this review. While 80 Nor and 701 Vir both smoke well on their own, I also use them in my own blends. This 81 Danish may blend fine when I get around it, but I will not be smoking it much on its own. It is a bit acidic in quality for something that should be a Virginia blend. There should be more sweetness to balance out the acidic qualities for a straight Virginia in my opinion. Maybe it just needs to age a bit to mellow out. The tobacco in the pipe that I am smoking now was received a few weeks ago, and I have smoked about 3 Ozs over the past couple of weeks before writing this review. Again, not bad but probably best blended 50/50 with D&R Ramback Gold or possibly with a little touch of Latakia and Perique with about 25% Peterson Flake or Ramback Gold to make a nice English/Balkan blend. The acid needs more spice and sweetness to mellow it out and make it more enjoyable to the tongue and nose.

Sweet Virginia smoke break inside the chocolate factory you don't taste the chocolate, just smell it like it's in the background..

This blend, along W the Virginia blend are great for RYO High quality tobacco.
