Dan Tobacco: Old Ironsides 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-293-0028

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.

Part of the American History series of pipe mixtures, Old Ironsides from Dan Tobacco celebrates the oldest battleship in the U.S. Navy, the USS Constitution or "Old Ironsides." A Latakia lover's dream, it offers a high percentage of Cypriot Latakia, complemented by Dark-Fired Kentucky, Perique, and Virginia varietals. Pressed and aged for twelve weeks, it's then cut into flakes — the perfect homage to America's tobacco tradition.

Truly exquisite smoke. I love Latakia, even smoking it by itself. My go to has always been Mississippi Mud. This stuff is now replacing it as my #1.

The best ive had.

Product: Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides 50g
I am almost certain this is the best pipe tobacco i have ever had. I am an english lover but this really was the first of the family where the orientals really jumped out at me. The addition of Kentucky works so so well. So much velvety flavor. This is eating Texas BBQ while sitting in a busy street market in Istanbul with a camp fire off in the distance. I need to buy several more tins of this to store in the bunker....Read More

I have never truly known love.

I have learned to love many different tobaccos. This is not like that. Upon lighting, the smoke is cool, dry, and as smooth as silk. Unlike many other blends where the flavors have to be teased out, here the flavors come as choreographed dancers, each in turn. The orientals dance and speak of the long-forgotten riches and pleasures of the Sultans of old. Rich incense, spice, smoke from the latakias, and perfumes are yours to savor. After the incense and spice, the virginias begin to suggest the faint smell of forbidden sweets. The faint aromas of balkava, honey cakes, and pistacios come forth in turn through the dance, blending together with the incense and spice in a complex and beautiful performance. As the bowl burns down, the sweet moves forward. Tempered by the smoke and spice the virginias transform the orientals into flowers. Honeysuckle, roses, lavendar, and teas swirl together in your nose as your mouth savors warm milk and honey, as the smoke becomes thicker, creamy, and impossibly more smooth. Even the ash is smooth. The beauty of Helen of Troy launched a thousand ships. This tobacco is my Helen. I realize now that what I thought before was love was just appreciation. Now I have to figure out what to do with all my other tobaccos!...Read More

Battleship Missouri

Product: Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides 50g
Having served onboard the U.S.S. Missouri BB-63 during the Gulf War/Desert Storm, I find myself quite intrigued by this blend!
With the heavy dose of Latakia, one would assume the ship would list to one side. The dark fired, and perique, serve as good ballast, while the Virginia holds a steady hand at the helm.
This is as smooth and as luxurious as they come. A good winters night smoke....Read More

frigate

Sorry but the Constitution was a frigate and not a battleship. There were very specific reasons why the early US Navy chose to build a fleet of frigates and not battleships. Just had to say it.

A FRIGATE OF DELICIOUS CARGO!
October 16, 2022
By: PIRATE PIPER
Product: Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides 50g
Avast ye soggy sea doggs, get yer grimy hands off me delicious booty! Haharrrr! This is another absolutey awesome piratey tobacco blend! The tin note is amazing, it’s like a perfect blend of a rich Latakia heavy English and HH Old Dark Fired! It is so unbelievably yummy! The smoky deep dark Latakia smells and tastes like it’s old and aged, and that great bbq tang and smokiness of the DFK is intoxicating! There are a lot of other complex flavors that are hard for me to distinguish as a drunken Ol pirate, but all’s aye know is it be one of thee fynest tobaccos in the seven seas! Also smokes long and cool, one bowl in my Peterson 408 lasted over 90 minutes! Well mates, chart a course with Old Ironsides and enjoy the delicious voyage! Cheers!...Read More

Not so much
February 22, 2021

Product: Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides 50g
I waited a year to try it and it was worth the wait to see what it is like. No surprise, it astes like latakia. Big surprise, that is all it tastes like. I love latakia, but this blend is completely one dimensional. I'll stick with Nightcap, Artisan's Blend and others with a good shot of latakia along with some other tasty flavors....Read More

I’ve been a piper for about 2 yrs now. I was very much exposed to piping when I lived in England. I started off of course with aromatics but soon progressed to English blends. I bought this 2 weeks ago, jarred it and tried it to day. Wow! This just so pleasant. I will be buying more of this but my problem will then be the internal argument of which of my top blends to choose from. If you like English blends then this should be in your cellar, rotation, taste library. Hope this review comes out to a full five!!!...Read More
