W.O. Larsen Old Fashioned

While these are great tobaccos, they have a tendency to be a bit stronger than many other tobaccos, so I would caution the casual user to be aware. They have a great room presence. They are designed to be an afternoon or evening smoke, as opposed to a first pipe of the day.

As a relatively new pipe smoker, I think this one is a little more mature than I am. I'll hang onto it and keep giving it more shots as I learn to enjoy the differences between this and the black Cavendish-heavy blends I normally go for.

Lovely tobacco!

Always the best!

The best Larsen I've ever put in my pipe

Smooth, easy to smoke and very enjoyable.

Great smoke

Great smoke packed easy burned cool no bite only smoked one bowl so I don’t have a whole lot more to say saving it for special

I've had a difficult time with this tobacco. As with most aromatics, it was soaking wet with topping. Dried it out a little and smoked out of my beater briar. Tasted pretty good! Next smoke was out of my meerschaum. Tasted awful, like wet card board sprayed with a Cavendish topping. After that most of the pipes I smoked tasted off. Let it dry even more, and then packed my pipe ever so lightly. Finally a decent smoke! Lights easily, tastes decent, nothing out of this world but I feel like it focuses more on tobacco than flavor. The flavor does last all the way down the chamber. I've smoke some aros that get a nasty ashtray flavor half way down. All in all I wouldn't recommend it entirely. It's a good one to have around for something to smoke on, but not worth the high price. The tin is probably the best aspect. Very high quality. As for flavor, it's.......weird to say the least. I can't quite pin it down. Tin note is a little chocolaty, I get no maple, and the room note is decent. Flavor wise it's almost muted. It's there but nothing I've tasted before can describe it.

Great service!

I bought this tin primarily based on previous experience with W.O.Larson.I am a English Blend smoker and don’t like toppings. This blend did it all right. It would not be my choice as a daily smoker. It is a mixture that is a treat. I would recommend it. I will it .

First time trying this. Was very impressed with the aroma and flavor of this blend. This was a very memorable smoking pleasure. Really appreciated the subtle chocolate notes in this blend. Most enjoyable smoke!

I've been sitting on this for over a month and decided to crack it open for its 'inaugural' smoke with my new 2017 Peterson St. Patrick's Day 150 pipe today and it's great! I've heard great things about Larson and this is my first time smoking this brand. Great tin note, smokes well and is a great anytime tobacco!

I never tried any of W.O. Larsen tobaccos before. I'm glad I did. Very aromatic, sweet, no bite. I'll be ordering more of this tobacco!

This was my first "tinned tobacco" to ever try, and I am really impressed with it! Of course, I'm new to this, but for a newbie, it was exceptional! Much better than the pouch tobaccos I've been smoking! I love the smell and the taste! I will definitely be ordering more of this, and would certainly recommend it to anyone!

My wife got this for me, and I went into it thinking it ought to be pretty good, and I was not disappointed! The more I smoke it, the more I like it, and am planning on getting more tins, and possibly try some of the other varieties they have! I personally highly recommend this tobacco!

Great smoke! Stays lit all the way through and has very nice aroma. Mix was a bit on the dry side. No bite.

Recently became acquainted with W.O. Larsen blends. As a dedicated English blend smoker, I was looking for something with slight sweetness to it for times when I wanted an aromatic. Everything I have tried by them has been good. I do agree with the comments about it burning a little too hot and I do see issues with tongue bite. However, if you sip it, and better still use a pipe with a filter you have no issues at all with this tobacco. I really like it and will definitely be buying more. If you like vanilla, caramel, coffee style notes - check out any of the WO Larsen range, they are all good. (2016 special edition is especially good with the coffee notes.)

I can always count on my orders arriving in a timely manner. This tobacco is my favorite and will take something to dethrone
