Pleasantly surprised - BLB!

This is fantastic! From the tin note of smokey bbq, the packing, the lighting and enjoyment through the whole bowl, I thought this would be a so so English. Wrong! This is a winner, and I believe this will also get even better with aging. Well balanced, smooth, smokey and shall I say satisfying! Wonderful blend C&D!!...Read More

We finally got a repreave from the oppressive heat and humidity here inAlabama. Fall at last. So, I’ve had this cellared for a couple of months. It was a crumble cake so after prep and filling a bowl, very, very, pleasant. The draw is cool and sweet, the flavor is amazing and a very nice aroma. A little bit spicy on the back of the throat and on the retro from the perique I guess, but mildly spicy. It was a very enjoyable smoke. I bought two large tins so I’ll be enjoying this one a little while. Big thumbs up!...Read More

One of the best from C&D

This is an excellent blend. When fresh it jumps from one leaf to another, when aged the leaves sing harmoniously together, either way is enjoyable to me. The burley is superb and though it is the lightest portion in the mix, to me, it is what pulls this blend together. You get nuttiness from the burley, bread and citrus from the Virginias, some exotic spices from the orientals, and raisin/pepper from the perique, all underscored by a light smokiness from the Turkish latakia, and it’s simply wonderful. Creamy, smoky, nutty, reminiscent of an oatmeal cookie at times. No bite, good nicotine content, calm consistent burn and easy handling. The only other of a similar ilk I have found is Drucquer & Sons King’s Fool. Like I said, one of, if not THE, best C&D has to offer....Read More

A little disappointed

I had seen a review of this blend elsewhere comparing it to "Frog Morton", and I can say it isn't even close. Not sure if it is the age (date on tin is 12/26/24) but I couldn't smell the latakia from the tin. Wasn't even present in the flavor or room note. Do not think I will purchase again....Read More

Not bad at all, but a bit weak on flavor and strength.

Like some other reviewers, I had high hopes for this blend. I’m primarily an English/Balkan guy, and it checks all the boxes upon description. All the ingredients. Rates 4/5 on taste and strength. The cake is gorgeous, breaks apart easily, and may be the best burning English I’ve ever encountered. And indeed, all the flavors are present, but they are more along the lines of a 2 to 3/5 to my palate. Nic hit is medium, as well. The flavor has much more in common with EMP or Chelsea Morning than it does with Super Balkan or Nightcap. No bite. Not a bad choice for an all-day English; it’s just that the description was off for me....Read More
