Product: Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Birthday Blend 50g
Another fine Dan Tobacco aromatic. I’m so glad I took a chance on these as a few of them have become regular smokes.
As with Black Velvet, I’m not sure I’m picking up the advertised flavor. In this case however, I’m not certain I’ve ever smelled or ... Read More
tasted Blue Curaçao, so perhaps I just don’t recognize it. It might be the power of suggestion in effect, but the aroma I detect is that of plain vanilla birthday cake. This works very well for me. It smells and tastes delicious, unlike plain vanilla birthday cake which often smells fantastic but falls flat when eaten. Blue Curaçao? I guess. Birthday Cake? Without a doubt.
*Disclaimer: I’m taking it for granted that the base underlying flavor is Dan’s particularly excellent tobacco. Please don’t misunderstand my review to suggest that smoking this is like a mouthful of birthday cake and nothing else. To my perception that is the dominant flavor but only by a very small margin. This is why I like this so much. Just beneath the topping is a very nice tobacco blend which is has some presence to it. It is substantial to my palate, nothing light or mild about it. Not to say it’s overwhelming in strength I know I’m smoking tobacco when I load up my pipe with this. This has been true with most of the Dan Tobacco aromatics I have smoked. They make really nice stuff all around. Read Less

I was lured in the direction of Bill Bailey's Birthday Blend by reviews that said it was flavored with Blue Curacao. I generally like tobaccos flavored with spirits or liqueur even though I've found that as a whole they tend to burn hotter. I'm also ... Read More
a fan of tobacco blends with a singular taste, be they aromatic or not. Birthday Blend certainly manages a unique taste and is definitely an aromatic blend. The tin note is very sweet and reminds me of jelly donuts for some reason. It is somewhat moist from the tin, and could benefit from a little drying, but not too much or you'll lose some of the flavor too. The cut is a basic run-of-the-mill ribbon cut, nothing special, but adequate for enjoyment. I found it best to lightly pack the bowl, i.e. little to no tamping. The charing light is a bit harsh and not indicative of the flavors to come. First draw was akin to burnt sugar or some such ruined sweet. After the bowl has a proper light and allowed to slow down a bit, flavors more reminiscent of the tin note came out. The slower you puff the better, which leads to some relights, but no bother, by this time it becomes a palate pleasing tasty treat. The flavoring may or may not remind you of Curacao, but it is light and citrusy, somewhat orange tasting and overall I think whatever is used works well with the already sweet blend of Black Cavendish and Virginia. This isn't the sort of blend I'd make a routine of. But once in a while, maybe once a year on my birthday or some other such holiday, I could see myself reaching for this one in the cellar again. Enjoy. Read Less
