The Virginias are front and center in this English blend. In the tin note and in the flavor. It's a top notch smoke with quality tobaccos. I recommend it to those who like their English sweet. I prefer mine with the Orientals out front so I probably won't buy any more of this blend but I will enjoy the rest of the 2 ozs I have.
UPDATE: 10/25/2013 This is better balanced between the Virginias and Orientals than I first thought. It's not just sweet, it's sweet and spicy. Much more to my liking. Upgrading from 3 stars to 4. You should try this one.

Comoy's of London Cask No. 1: Double English, made in Denmark, is created with great care and an exquisite recipe. It is, indeed, as the package reads, "the quintessential English blend, loaded with Latakia" and mixed with Virginias and Oriental. For fans of this variety, as I am, Cask 1 should prove a delight in its remarkable sweetness and fresh, distinct taste of Latakia. This is now my favorite English blend, and that is saying something considering I had never even heard of Comoy's tobaccos before and therefore had no expectations (although I owned a very nice Compy's London made pipe once that I cleaned up and gave to a cigar-smoking friend who still has it and attends our meetings), and I have smoked enough English blends to know a good one when I taste it. I owe tremendous thanks to the friend in my pipe club who works for my local tobacconist and let alll of those present for a recent meeting have samples from a distributor. Alas, all of mine are already smoked!

Yes - perfectly good blend. Well behaved smoke with the 'orientals' well in the background (where they should be) and enough Latakia to let you know it's there without swamping everything else. Good quality VA giving that creamy fullness to the smoke, and no additives to offend. ETA: some tobaccos really tend to shine when smoked in a decent meerschaum - this is one of those! - really brings out the best qualities of the Latakia.

Comoy's of London Cask No. 1: Double English to me is a perfect balace between Latakia, Virginia, Oriental and Turkish. It is an easy smoke English blend, but if you take a minute to taste it you won't be disappointed. The complexity of this blend is present since the beginning until the end of your bowl, making each one a unique flavorful experience...smoke made memories

To me, this is an after-dinner smoke, focus on the Cyprian Latakia, the Virginia played the supporting role which gave the smoke a touch of natural sweetness and yes the Orientals is there, highlighting the most interesting part of the recipe, the spicy note is simply fantastic! Enjoyed this one immensely! A typical English smoke!
