Simply good
July 31, 2018
Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
A wonderful "simple" smoke. This is a natural blend. No casings, no flavourings added. Bright mellow Virginia, Burley and Orientals - that's it.
I think sometimes some pipe smokers, myself included look for too much complexity.

't a Latakia blend. This isn't an aromatic. This isn't a well aged VA/Per.
This is just tobacco. In a simple pure form. A traditional shag cut. Not aged, not adulterated, just grown, picked, cured, cut and blended.
What makes it "Norwegian"? Because Europeans traditionally smoked natural blends, and, well, they had to name it something!
If we were to go back 100 years, 150 years - this is what they would be smoking. Just like in the States they'd be smoking the same exact thing, minus the oriental leaf.
If you're getting that ashy "cigarette" flavour, then slow down. You're pushing the burley, this will burn without effort.
As mentioned, a "passive smoke" is a great description. It really requires little attention. During hunting season I will run this in a cob continuously.
It's also a nice "Base" for your own personal blending. There's a lot that can be done with this. Often I will mix this 50/50 with PS Turkish. Read Less

A tasty, toasty blend for RYO.
Delightfully Plain and Simple

Although it's quite different from what I typically smoke, I really like this one. No.80 / Norwegian Blend is unusual, and it suits the plain tobacco lovers—those who like minimal casings as well as those who like the taste of orientals straight-up. ... Read More
To some—especially those who like added flavors—it's going to taste a bit cigarette-like. But again, if you like that sort of plain "old world" tobacco flavor, you're going to find nuances and flavor qualities in this that others wont. Its low moisture content and shag cut is perfect for on-the-go smoking; a gentle pinch and pack into your pipe makes for instant enjoyment. It burns evenly and quite cool, leaving a fine white ash behind. Additionally worth mentioning is that it's an excellent mixer for strong blends, like Latakia-dominant, heavy Perique blends, or anything you find overwhelming. On a regular basis, I've mixed this with C&D Pirate Kake, and also experimented with Ten Russians and Plum Pudding SR, all producing tasty Englishes. It could also be used to give an aromatic more body and less added flavor. At any rate, if you're a fan of those "old world" style blends, #80 is a must-try, especially at such a friendly price. A fine smoke! Read Less
Disappointed.

Might as well be smoking a cigarette.
Ribbon NOT shag

Very neutral blend, but ribbon cut rather than shag as advertised
Outstanding blend...

Quite simple and pleasant. I usually have a couple lbs of this stuff cellared.
A simple, good smoke
February 07, 2020
Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
This is a nice, light blend. It's mild but flavorful, with no casing just the simple, balanced flavors of the different tobaccos come through. The sweetness of the Virginia and the nuttiness of the Burley are topped off with a touch of Oriental leaf.... Read More

So basic yet so good!
May 31, 2019
Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
Just like the write up says, it's just Virginia, burley and a bit of oriental. No other flavoring but it doesn't need it. I'm so impressed with it! The flavor is light and tasty, and the room note is nice - like baked goods. Another win for Stokkebye... Read More

Thin ribbon with good moisture. Nice smell and taste. Price is good. Ryo or bowl all day smoke.
A passive smoke.

Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
I have never been big into Virginias. So, I say to myself "let's just start with the basics." That is exactly what I got a basic blend. it packs nice smokes clean and dry, it's not in your face, and no tongue bite to speak of. It does have ... Read More
flavor, just very simple and to the point. I will be ordering this blend in mass at some point because it is a great all day smoke you can passively puff and ponder without analyzing it and paying it very little attention. Great job guys! Read Less
What makes it "Norwegian"?
March 09, 2018
Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
I'm not sure what makes a tobacco "Norwegian", but I found this to be pungent almost to the point of deer-tongue. Like deer-tongue, I suspect it's a love/hate thing, and I also suspect it may ghost a pipe. I'm glad others are enjoying it,... Read More

Different but nice

Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
I usually smoke va/per or English blends and bought this based on the reviews. I’ve not smoked much oriental blends and wanted to see what I was missing.
The Virginia’s are slightly sweet with initial light but that mellows our as you get into the ... Read More
bowl. Orientals are tangy and leave a fresh aftertaste. No bite at all. A blend you don’t have to think about while smoking. A definite all day smoke. My only complaint is that it burns a little fast. I guess this is because of the cut. One to keep in the cellar for sure. Read Less
Very Nice Change of Pace
February 22, 2018
Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
Smoking in rotation, this tobacco is a refreshing change in taste, texture and aroma. It doesn't have an "in your face" room note, rather just a pleasant (and imho, masculine) tinge to the atmosphere. Taste is about 3/5 as rated. Easily ... Read More
packed I watch out for over doing it. I think it needs to smoke slow or else a bit of a bite develops. Taste, to me, hints at straw. Good tobacco for the cellar and for enjoying over a couple of years or three. Read Less
A gentle twist to a Virginia

Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
in making the rounds in the Virginia blends, this one is very different in flavor. the added Orientals and mind you just a touch of Oriental is a nice combination. Smokes well, flavor is nice as is room note. seems to burn rather fast but that is mos... Read More

当做手卷入的，味道接近琥珀，劲道中等，虽然介绍上标称shag，但是切丝有1.5-2毫米，纯手卷比较考验功力。准备试试阿姆斯特丹和土耳其，看看哪款更适合我
Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
My new favorite shag cut. It is a relatively simple blend, nothing crazy, but it tastes great and has a nice aroma. Very well done blend, I will definitely order more. I should add that I occasionally roll this with filtered tubes when I feel like a ... Read More

Wonderful all day smoke
October 23, 2017
Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk
I was a little suprised by the fine, cigarettish cut. (it looks coarser on the monitor) The bag aroma reminded me of the old Drum cigarette tobaccos, with a slight anise scent, which fortunately does not appear on smoking.
Properly packed this bu... Read More
rned evenly and cooly, not hot like many pipe-smoked cigarette cuts. It is a tasty blend I smoke in public (we are ambassadors for the pipe community) and have received nothing but positive feedback.
It smoked slightly hot on the light (virginias) but soon settles to a mild, tasty, and pleasant smoke which won't piss anybody off , i.e. periques and latakias.
I'm going to order a bunch of this to cellar. Read Less

Product: Peter Stokkebye PS80 Norwegian Blend Bulk

I am not a pipe expert.. I do not have a refined palate that delivers all the nuances that others may find in a blend.. but I do know what I like and I really enjoy this blend. I brought out my Missouri Meerschaum Mark Twain and filled the bowl with... Read More
this fresh and natural smelling blend and enjoyed it. Sipping is required as it will let you know it does not like a freight train. If you are looking for a natural blend that has several different layers of enjoyment then I would recommend you give this a try. As a side note I also RYO and this makes one of the finest RYO's I have ever made. Read Less
