Not a complex blend
September 23, 2018
Product: Holger Danske Original Orange 50g
This is a good, decent blend but nothing extraordinary or complex. Orange smell yes it has some but it disappears in the first puffs and what you get is just an ordinary tobacco.
A blend worthy of the hero's name.

Product: Holger Danske Original Orange 50g
The Holger Danske brand has four blends that are all nice, but this is the one I buy most often. The brand gets it's name from the historical heroic knight Ogier The Dane (a.k.a. Holger Danske) and he would probably have liked this original blend had... Read More
it been around. It's a hearty blend of Virginias fit for a legend. The Danes have a long honorable history with tobacco and many of the Danish aromatics that are available today vary from what we would call an aromatic blend in the States. The primary difference being the use of more natural tasting components or additives to enhance rather than cover the bold natural tobacco flavors. As aromatic blends go, I like this because despite its “Mild” name, it is a medium bodied smoke with a strong essence that marries extremely well with the Virginia used. It's not exactly orange flavored, or at least it's not like hard candy or orange soda. It seems more like tea steeped with orange peels and other spices resulting in an aroma more in common with potpourri. Don't let that description turn you away though, it is actually quite unique and worth a try. The first time I had this I didn't know what to think of it, but I found myself almost craving that unique flavor and aroma. It's a rough/ribbon cut that burns sort of slow, but is not syrupy or saturated like American aros. It is in fact on the dry side of perfect for lighting and doesn't require many relights unless you have a particularly deep bowl. Original Mild Orange is a great Summer/Fall blend that I enjoy any time of day. It pairs well with tea. And, it's not hard to find in stock and is usually reasonably priced. I count this blend as one of my favorite aromatic blends. Enjoy. Read Less
Not E/O

Top quality leaf blended with care & skill. If E/O is too much for you, this presents a subtlety in formulation, while scratching that orange fix.

Product: Holger Danske Original Orange 50g
Plenty of quality tobacco to be enjoyed after the aromatics subside about mi-point. The top note would be somewhere between orange blossom and a sweet nougat. When smoked, I get mild, MILD orange and just a bit of sweetness. Bought this blend on a... Read More
forum friend's recommendation and I'm not disappointed. This will be an all day walking around blend for me till the tin is empty. With so many smokes yet to try and so many favourites already found, I don't know that I will be buying more of this particular blend, but I did like it and I plan on sampling Holger Danske' other offerings.

A very friendly mixture

Product: Holger Danske Original Orange 50g
Having been a fan of Dunhill tobaccos, I decided to try something different prompted by my love of fresh oranges and of orange marmalade.
Well, not too sure about the 'orangeness' of this tobacco but it tastes nice, looks beautiful and comes very ne... Read More
atly packed, in sharp contrast with Savinelly tobaccos, which stain and leak into the protective paper once you open the tin.
To sum up, highly recommended for taste, aroma and presentation Read Less
