Dan Tobacco: Black Velvet 50g Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-293-0046
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.

Perfectly Subtle

If you're looking for loads of flavor, check elsewhere. This blend is exactly as described, generally unsweetened and packing the subtlest punch possible, the room note faintly of brownies. You can smoke it all day - and I have.

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.

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.

Fine tobacco

taking over as it usually does. It's not about latakia. I do taste Guinness and the hint of fruity vinegary wine all the way through the smoke. It's a mellow even smoke all the way to the bottom. My tin arrived at just the right moisture level and the broken flake is easy to fill. Just take a pinch, roll it a little in your fingers to line the bits up, and poke it into the pipe. Slow sips seem best but it doesn't get get hot or harsh if the pace picks up. Tongue burn seems almost impossible. Whoever came up with this blend pulled off a fine stunt. I'd say try it....Read More

Very interesting

t it wasn't strong. The topping is really what made it interesting, as I was hoping. Guinness is the stronger of the two topping flavors, and it came through to me as a surprisingly rich malty taste. The champagne was faintly there, and mixed well with the bright Virginias. It did occasionally have a harshness to it (which I always get occasionally with more aromatic blends), but not bad at all. It probably won't be a regular part of my rotation but it's a great way to change up the palate....Read More

uffing. Black Velvet seems to deliver fun twists along the way. On the slower sips where the bowl is burning in the cooler mellow range of the ember, I taste the sweetness and tangy zest of the champagne notes. When I get a little more agressive to rebuild the heat or keep the ember more alive along with tamping, the Latakia seems to give the deep base you'd expect from a pint of Guinness with that dark roasty quality. The transformation in between is what makes the fun. You can practically range your flavor preferences accordingly I've found with that style. Absolutely no penalty on relights as it seems to brighten everything back up again. Some drying time may be needed based on personal desire for the behavior in the bowl. This just seems to get better bowl after bowl. Enough said. Try it for yourself and see!...Read More
