It’s the Burley

complexity for an English tobacco. Bought eight ounces on a whim, but after smoking about half in a number of pipes I’ve grown to like it. Maybe I like Burley more than I thought I did. It might not be Summa Cum Laude but is still near the top of the class. I might like it more as I smoke more of it. This mixture is just about right for me....Read More

Old College

ri Pride.
Started the day with this blend, literally. Had a bowl in the way to, and after , going to the gym this morning. And that worked because it’s is a very soft English. The Latakia was not too bold, but present and nice. I don’t drink a lot of coffee; this morning like most I opted for Irish Breakfast tea ( no sugar , touch of crème) and it was perfect together.
The Virginia drives this delicious blend, the burley and cavendish adding some backbone and support and the Latakia is almost condimental here. Well done.
At lunch I ran out for an errand and caught a quick third bowl. Smoked faster and hotter , it forced the Latakia up front a bit. Just a promise of leather and iodine.
I see a 1/2 lb coming my way soon , to cellar a year and revisit.
My rating : 4- this is good - I’m ordering some to have around when I am ordering something else
This is the 18th of 101 blends from the C&D Bulk offerings I am reviewing....Read More

Sweeter than Constellation and Less Latakia

on the tongue, and which derives its sweetness from the black cavendish, Old College has more VA and less latakia. A note on that sweetness: sweetness from the cavendish is different than say a virginia... it's less sharp and isn't as deep. That difference is akin to candy (virginia) vs a pear (cavendish). Definitely an all-day smoke. Nicotine is 2 out of 5....Read More

No diploma for this blend

Based on the description, I was expecting better. Bland, boring, and no flavor to speak of.

Flunked Out

Old College starts out with a toasty/smokey/nutty sweetness to it but then as the bowl progresses, the blend becomes incredible bland after the first 3rd of the bowl. tastes like ash and burns hot.
