Einheit
Anders als die weiteren Barsdorf- Tabake ist die Basis dieser Mischung Black Cavendish, der nur mit wenigen Flocken hellerer Tabake ergänzt wird. Charaktertistisch für diese Mischung ist die feine Vanillearomatisierung, die sich nicht nur im Geschmack, sondern auch in der Raumnote bemerkbar macht. Die relativ feine Schnittbreite fördert den Abbrannt, und macht den Brasdorf Yellow Blend ebenfalls zu einem guten Mischtabak.

Sven 1. Introduction: The house of Joh. Wilh. v. Eicken in Lübeck belongs to that venerable class of North German establishments which, over the course of decades, have cultivated a tobacco tradition at once unpretentious and steadfast. From the 1930s through to the 1960s, v. Eicken not only produced a wide array of proprietary compositions, but even manufactured Dunhill blends under licence for the German market. Of that former distinction, alas, but little now remains. Beyond cigarettes, cigars, and rolling tobacco, there subsists only a single line - Käpt’n Barsdorf’s Bester - of rather generic pipe tobaccos offered at a modest price. Käpt’n Barsdorf’s Bester Vanilla stands as an exemplar of this line: devoid of experiment, untouched by fleeting fashion, but rather a classical German aromatic of the kind that, throughout the twentieth century, secured for itself a firm place within bourgeois pipe-smoking culture. The mixture is plainly constructed, consisting predominantly of Black Cavendish with a lesser proportion of Virginia - and without Burley (sic!). Such a composition adheres to a time-honoured pattern: the Black Cavendish serving as a soft, near-neutral vehicle for the flavouring, whilst the Virginia contributes a restrained, natural sweetness. In contrast to Danish mixtures containing Burley, there is here a deliberate renunciation of any dry, nutty, or at times “scratchy” counterpoint. 2. Appearance & Cut: Upon opening the tin, one is greeted by a classic, rather finely cut mixture. Deep, dark-brown to nearly black Cavendish predominates, interwoven with strands of lighter, golden-brown Virginia. The moisture is adjusted in a manner congenial to aromatics: supple, slightly elastic, yet by no means excessively damp. 3. Tin Note: The tin note is unequivocal: vanilla in a clear and sweet expression, accompanied by hints of caramel and a somewhat restrained, sweetly creamy tobacco undertone. The vanilla does not present itself as sharp or artificially obtrusive, but rather calls to mind crème brûlée or delicate confectionery. The tobacco itself recedes into the background, yet provides a gentle and warmly rounded base note. 4. Course of the Smoke: Beginning: From the very first puffs, the character of the mixture declares itself: a soft, dense, almost creamy smoke, borne upon an even vanilla sweetness. The Black Cavendish here unfolds its customary mildness, whilst the Virginia contributes little more than a subtle, underlying natural sweetness. Middle: In the central portion, the fundamental design of the blend is confirmed: constancy in place of development. The vanilla remains present without undergoing any notable transformation. The tobacco emerges somewhat more distinctly, yet never to the point of dominance. Mild, faintly caramelised nuances appear, but without the astringent dryness or nutty character so typical of Burley-laden Danish vanilla aromatics. End: Towards the conclusion, the vanilla recedes, whilst the base tobacco comes marginally more to the fore. The smoke, however, remains soft and unobtrusive to the last, never lapsing into ashy or bitter territory. 5. Combustion & Mechanics: Once kindled without difficulty, the burn proceeds reliably and evenly. The tobacco demands no particular attention and proves largely forgiving even of less practised packing and smoking technique. A slight formation of condensate is, as expected, present, yet remains manageable. Should the smoker draw too hastily, overheating with a consequent loss of flavour may quickly ensue; yet the dreaded bite of the tongue is seldom encountered. Taken as a whole, the tobacco reveals itself to be notably good-natured and eminently suited to everyday use. 6. Room Note: The room note constitutes one of the principal virtues of this mixture. It is warm, sweet, redolent of vanilla, and exceedingly agreeable. Such an olfactory impression rarely gives offence, even among the uninitiated, and corresponds in full to the stereotypical expectations of the non-smoker with regard to pipe tobacco fragrance. 7. Comparison & Classification: In comparison with other vanilla aromatics, Käpt’n Barsdorf’s Bester Vanilla is clearly to be situated among those Cavendish-dominated blends of gentle disposition. In contrast to products from houses such as Mac Baren or Stanwell, the vanilla flavouring appears less artificial and less acidulous; yet the blend correspondingly offers a lesser complexity in the underlying tobaccos. In its stead, it possesses a remarkable straightforwardness and aromatic stability, rendering it particularly suitable for habitual use. It is no representative of the Danish aromatic school with its more complex evolution, but rather a classical utility tobacco, fulfilling its purpose without pretension to refinement. 8. Suitability & Recommendation: This mixture may be especially recommended to: – the novice seeking a mild and approachable tobacco that does not appear artificial; – the devotee of sweet, creamy aromatics devoid of harsh edges; – those occasions in which a notably agreeable room note is desired. It appears less suited to the experienced pipe-smoker who deliberately seeks complexity, an engaging evolution throughout the smoke, or a pronounced, natural tobacco character. To beginners in search of the quintessential “vanilla aromatic,” one may readily commend this pleasing - and indeed remarkably inexpensive - tobacco. 9. Conclusion: Käpt’n Barsdorf’s Bester Vanilla, from the Lübeck house of v. Eicken, is a classical Black Cavendish aromatic in its purest form: soft, sweet, even-tempered, endowed with a distinct and convincingly natural vanilla note, and devoid of any notable sharpness or irregularity. Its strength lies not in complexity or in a stimulating development, but in its consistent aromatic harmony. The omission of Burley proves here to be stylistically decisive: it spares the mixture that adstringent dryness often found in Danish blends and allows it to remain wholly within the domain of mild, creamy aromatics. Thus does this tobacco stand within an honourable, if unspectacular, tradition: as a faithful companion to the lover of aromatics, who seeks neither challenge nor surprise.

Mein Standard Tabak für den täglichen Gebrauch. Ein wie ich finde unschlagbares Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Es ist der erste Tabak den ich in meinem Leben geraucht habe und den ich nun über 10 Jahre treu geblieben bin. Ein sanfter und milder Rauchgenuss mit dezenter Vanille Note ist der Schlüssel dazu, so dass man nicht befürchten muss ein Pelz auf der Zunge zu bekommen. Rauchdauer während der Arbeit (1,5-2 Gramm Tabak) ca. 20 Minuten. Rauchdauer abends (2-2,5 Gramm Tabak), wenn man es drauf anlegen will, 40 bis 50 Minuten.
