The Virginias have a little grass, some earth and citrus. Here and there I got a hint of darker fruit. They form the base for the constituent tobaccos. The Orientals are woody sweet with some spice, and a bare touch of sour that you’ll notice only once a while. The wood and spice from the Orientals shine in every puff without ever dominating the experience. The Cyprian latakia is smoky, woody sweet, and is a team player. This blend is not “loaded” with latakia as the description states. The tobaccos combine for a very consistent, mildly sweet and a little smooth, cool and clean flavor with a moderate richness. Has no harsh spots, but you will feel a slight tingle from the spice in the last quarter of the smoke. Burns well, and requires few relights. Leaves almost no moisture in the bowl. The nic-hit is mild. Has a pleasant after taste and a woody, campfire room note. I rate it as a middle strength English; a step up for those who prefer a milder entry in this genre, and a lighter change of pace for those who smoke the heavy duty lat-bombs.

This is a very good blend overall. The Lat. is there at times at the front good and smokey overall. However, there are places where it has a burnt taste like perhaps it was over cured? This is not all the time just whiffs here and there. The orientals are good with a musky and floral flavor the is complemented by the sweetness of the VA's. A better than average straightforward English blend that deserves revisiting. I have kept back a couple of oz. to age and see how it does. With a little age it could be very good.
A note about the room note. Most of the time when I smoke a blend I don't notice it. This I did and even outside it was strong. I can sit on the porch and smoke leave and come back later and still smell this blend. Not to be smoked near the wife.

I liked it! I bought this tobacco one year ago and when new it seemed very hot and it bit really hard. So I jarred it up and today I tried it again, one year later, and it was a different smoke all together. I found it to have a subtle sweetness with a little spicy note. The Latakia is present, but in the background. I would not say it is loaded, but you do taste its smokiness. No longer was I placing a blowtorch in my mouth, but a cool pleasant surprise instead. I recommend this blend be aged prior to using because it improves so much the better in taste and smoking pleasure. (May/2017) Just smoked a bowl with another six months on it. It just gets better!

Not a bad tobacco, but I'll stick with Boswell's or Frog Morton. It smokes cool, burns evenly, and is sweet to a point. It would be alright for a change off blend. I can see where some may make it their go to choice of mild English tobaccos and I would smoke it again. The tobacco also left the pipe clean and dry, but I have no idea what it smells like(can't smell that well). Thus I have made my very first rewiew of a tobacco. I chose a Kirsten Model B to smoke this blend in and will add the pipestayed cool right to the end of the smoke.

A rich smokey English blend. The bowl begins with the taste of the Virginia's and further through the bowl the smokey Latakia and sweet Oriental opens up. A standard English blend with all of the blending components coming through as the bowl progresses. The container I received was aged 16 years. And I can say that this tobacco ages nicely.

I bought this tin because it looked intriguing. A promise of heavy latakia (unspecified provenance), Virginia and Orientals. My type of blend. My friend Bobby behind the counter indicated that the tins on display had been there three years or more. No problem there unless the pry open lid was compromised and the leaf had dried out. No worries, though. Under the lid was a tight, heavy foil seal. So the tobacco was fresh and moist.
I used one fairly new pipe (Rad Davis) And an old one (pre trans Barling's Make). Experience was the same in both. A heavy duty dose of Virginia with a subtle latakia undertone and not much noticeable in the way of Orientals. A respectable nicotine punch and an edgy flavor that kept up interest consistently throughout the bowl and produced a moderate plume of smoke. Perhaps the age of the tin has submerged the Oriental influence. Not an every day smoke for me. But worthwhile and one to use for a change of pace.
