Dan Tobacco: Black Velvet 250g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-293-0047

Manufactured in a century-old brick building in picturesque Lauenburg, Germany, Dan pipe tobacco has gained quite a worldwide reputation among smokers, with a wide variety of blends and cuts on offer. Andreas Mund became the successor in charge of production when master blender Jürgen Westphal retired, and is assisted by Heiko Behrens as well as Michael Apitz of Dan Pipe.

Even if Dan Tobacco's Black Velvet weren't a crossover blend (there is Latakia in there), it would stand out as quite an unusual Aromatic. No fruits, no honey, no vanilla, nor even the usual whiskeys or brandies play a part in this pipe tobacco. Instead, the pressed and ready-rubbed, Virginia-based blend takes aroma and flavor from the namesake cocktail, consisting of chilled stout (Dan Tobacco uses Guinness here) floated atop sparkling champagne.

One of the best blends I have ever had the luxurious pleasure of enjoying. A true desert island blend that is a rotation worthy smoke. Tin note is wonderful and the smoking experience is equally good, if not better. Highly recommended.

This is a tobacco that delivers on the flavor notes described. Taste of Guinness and the crisp kind of tang you'd expect from a taste of champagne. One of the things I like to do (with all tobaccos ive tried so far) is to test the different flavor r... Read More

Seems there'd be more reviews for this. It's really what I call a fine smoke. It's what I call a stunt blend, and I'm always skeptical about them. But it made me curious and I tried it. It's very successful and what I'd call flavored rather than arom... Read More

I would consider this to be a top shelf aromatic. Plenty to consider here while smoking and picking out the flavors in its profile. Quite rich and heady.
Very interesting

I tried this blend because it sounded very different from blends i've had in the past, and I was not disappointed. This blend is pretty unique. Most of what I tasted were the Virginias, which seemed to be an even mix of brights and darks. The Lata... Read More

I'm not a big smoker of heavy aromatics, but Guinness!!! I had to try. It is pretty good stuff. Even though I don't taste stout, I do taste good tobacco with some nice topping. Not an all the time kind of smoke but I found it enjoyable. Give it a tr... Read More
