Soft Virginia Flavor
July 28, 2018
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 250g
I think the people rating the tobacco poorly are trying to trick others not to buy Hamborger Veermaster. It is NOT an aromatic, it’s a Virginia Flake, with a soft, sweet flavor. It’s my all time favorite. Buy a tin, and if you like it, buy it in bulk... Read More
and age it 5 or more years; it becomes fantastic! Don’t take my word for it... look how often it’s sold out. Read Less
where's the taste?
June 30, 2015
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 250g
I bought this based on a reccommendation...I guess I should have thought twice when the reccommendation came from a cigarette smoker. After experiencing virginia flakes from peter stokkebye, wessex, orlik, sam gawith, dunhill flake hamborger veermas... Read More
ter is very lacking in sweetness and just overall taste. Fairly cigarette like. I will cellar the rest of the tin and hope for the best. So far a resounding no for me. Much better out there and much more economical. Check HV off the gotta try list though Read Less
Ok but slightly flawed
September 10, 2022
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
The casing is more heavy handed than I prefer. I don't hate it but I'm not sure I'll buy it again. It was fairly damp and was difficult to keep lit out of the bag. After 2 hours of drying time it was more smokable. The Virginia flavor does come throu... Read More
gh the casing but doesn't really shine as much as I'd like. If they reduced the casing I'd buy it regularly. Not that they asked me. This is a good one for aro smokers to test the water in Virginias. Read Less
A Noteworthy Subtle Virginia Flake
January 06, 2022
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 250g
I was pleasantly surprised to discover how much I enjoyed this pure Virginia flake. The tactile presentation I found quite interesting which is unusual. At first glance it looked normal enough with the lighter coloring one would expect to find in a... Read More
n recently tinned tobacco but when I tried to peel away a layer of flake it was rather difficult to separate without damaging the slice. Almost like it had been pressed, cut, and re-pressed under extreme pressure. The moisture level was also nearly perfect as it was malleable yet firm and held together well without being sticky. Having tried many Virginia flakes over the years I found this to be unique when handling. The tin note was inviting and refined with a hay-like aroma persisting around a wonderful natural tobacco scent, with maybe a hint of vinegar though I cannot tell for certain whether it comes from a topping or fermentation, but my guess is it is a topping given the sharpness of the note. The Virginias seems to be of above average quality though not very high in sugar content. Now knowing this is a very subtle tobacco, I prefer to load these flakes either “cube-cut” or with a “fold and stuff” approach, as rubbing it out into ribbon unfocused the flavor and raised the temperature for me. I have some quite old tins of this which I have never opened, and I am now wishing I had discovered this sooner. I recommend smoking this in a pipe seasoned to Virginia tobaccos lest you run the risk of overpowering the delicate flavors this tobacco has to offer. Read Less
Bite free Virginia
October 27, 2019
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 250g
This is a review of the 250g bag. The smell out of the bag is sweet hay. There are 4 stacks of fat flakes. The smoke is less sweet than the bag smell. There are some citrus flavors to the smoke and a little honey. The nic hit is just shy of medium. T... Read More
his is not a complex smoke but keeps the flavor to the bottom of the bowl. An all day smoke. Did not get tounge bite even when pushed. Recommend to any pipe smoker except those who only smoke ropes.
A second bag had mold and excessive moisture but Nick at smokingpipes.com took care of that problem asap...great customer service. Read Less

Absolutely dreadful. Again this casing that I greatly dislike. There is tons of better Virginia out there.
Mild Virginia

Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
Veermaster is a mild Virginia with hints of natural sweetness and citrus. No bite, delicious sweet citrus retrohale, and great flake for beginners and experience alike.

I haven’t had this blend in 14yrs, & I must say this blend is 5 stars for me,I should have bought 2 bags.next time I will.. To me Veermaster taste like a lighter version of Samuel Gawith-Full Virginia Flake. I can taste the elements of F.V.F but ... Read More

10 year old tin
December 19, 2021
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
Virginias are known for aging well, so I opened a 10 year old tin as my first experience with this tobacco. Even with 10 years, the taste was VERY mild and did not taste aged. It was a darn good, well behaved smoke. The flavor was very subtle. Not a ... Read More
bad thing, but if you’re expecting it to get vastly better with age, you might be disappointed. I have a few more fresh tins and will enjoy them sooner instead of waiting. This is a great, reliable tobacco, but subtlety is the keyword. Not for lovers of big, bold taste…but an unobtrusive companion when you want to puff on something nice. Read Less
Hamburger Beermaster?
September 16, 2021
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
Good smooth VA flake, a little sweeter than most but not overly. The SP description says it comes as a broken flake but the flakes are more or less intact. Fold and stuff aficionados rejoice! Not sure if I've got some older stock but mine came ou... Read More

Surprisingly sweet Virginia, full body, creamy and yummy! Waiting for it to be restocked so I can purchase several more bags, it can only get better with age!
Naval Supremacy?!
November 07, 2020
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
Dan Tobacco makes two Virginia flake tobaccos that I like to keep in my tobacco bar; Tordenskjold and Hamborger Veermaster. Both are excellent entries into the world of premium flakes, but while Tordenskjold is an exceptional straight VA flake (with ... Read More
a pinch of Perique), Hamborger Veermaster is its slightly sweeter more Navy flake like cousin. While there is no rum topping disclosed, I consider it a Navy flake based on its flavor profile. Hamborger Veermaster is a very mild and sweet flake with qualities reminiscent of sweet iced tea. Very much a lighter and sweeter version of Tordenskjold. The VA is predominately golden hay-like brights, and has a sour tartness that mellows with age. Hamborger Veermaster is wonderful to age too. If you choose to cellar it, I recommend three years in a half-full Mason jar, beyond that I can't tell a difference. It's perfectly enjoyable without age, in fact this would be a good place to start flake tobacco exploration if you're new to them. It is light and easily smoked all day in any weather. While VA is generally popular in the warmer months, I've enjoyed this tobacco late into the Fall with surprising taste differences resulting from the seasonal changes in humidity. I've never gotten any harshness or bite with it and I think if you do, it's probably not from the tobacco. Flakes can be tricky since they deceptively hold more moisture. A properly packed bowl should be firmly packed, but must still allow for easy air flow. It takes practice. Once adequately lit, just sip. Flakes tend to want to burn slowly. It's not something you want to rush. I mention this because people tend to want more flavor from a lighter, milder tobaccos like Hamborger Veermaster and you can't get more flavor by puffing harder or faster at it. If you prefer, you could always thoroughly rub out the flakes prior to packing or dry the flakes for a quicker burn rate. Whether you're already a fan of Virginia flakes or you're new to pipe smoking and whether you decide to age it or smoke it fresh from the tin, DTM's Hamborger Veermaster is one of the best. Enjoy.

Sweet Pleasure
September 01, 2020
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
I opened two tins of this about eight months back and put it in an airtight jar. I was in the mood for Virginia Flake so I was trying to decide between trying this or smoking some well aged McClelland #27 Virginia Flake. I decided to try this because... Read More
I knew the other was good. Since I was thinking of smoking the #27 my expectations were not very high. I was pleasantly surprised at the natural tasting sweetness of this blend. I enjoyed a cool dry smoke and found myself in deep thought as my mind drifted off in relaxation. This was the most enjoyable bowl I've smoked in the last couple weeks. This is not an Aromatic at all from what I can tell, just good natural sweetness. It took me about forty minutes to smoke and I still had to dump nearly half the bowl because I ran out of time. I'll review this again in the future when I've had a chance to smoke more of it, but it is fantastic as far as I'm concerned right now. Read Less

Si fumas este tabaco solamente doblando los flakes, podrás cargar una y otra pipa...todo el día y te regocijarás con su sabor fuerte y un poco ácido al final. ¡Así de bueno es!

Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
Fine virginias,certainly,but with a little but noticeable casing.If you can´t tolerate aromatics simply don´t buy it.At the other hand if you like soft aromatics is splendid.That is your choice and my honest advice.
Product: Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster 50g
Very nice rounded tobacco in the way of flavour and sweet but not excessively sweet. If you like Virginias I think you might enjoy Hamborger Veermaster .
