A great present

Received a tin for Christmas and it has proven to be a great gift. Proof that C&D can make a great English Blend.
Very Pleasant Americanized English

An Americanized-English blend with Dark Burley in the lead position. There is a enough Latakia to provide some charred wood to the overall flavor throughout the smoke, but it's not a dominant feature. Virginia Flake (that has been fully fubbed out ... Read More
and cut into ribbons) undoubtedly acts as a mitigating force on the power of the Dark Burley while contributing some additional richness and perhaps a little extra sweetness. The Black Cavendish undoubtedly provides a bit more sweetness and works as a binder bringing the other components together. The Turkish Oriental is obvious and provides some sour herbal notes and is mixed at a level that strikes me as more than a condiment--it is noticeable on every puff.
Sea Dog approaches medium in both power and flavor. There is a noticeable sweet/sour and earthy interplay between the various tobaccos and there is plenty of body and flavor. I find that the smoke aroma is not nearly so offensive as so many other Burley and Latakia combinations. This is not a love at first pipe kind of blend—it requires a few acquaintances.
I would suggest that if you enjoy Epiphany then I think you might also enjoy Sea Dog for a change-up. Sea Dog is a bit more complex, a tad sweeter, and displays more charred wood while Epiphany with its 3-Burley combination is richer, darker, and more earthy with a distinct nutty taste and less charred wood.

Tin note of smoky, sour vegetation and tart dark fruit. Tobacco is a mixed cut of brown, black and tan. Moisture content is ok. Some pipe smokers will want to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to med... Read More
ium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with complex notes of peaty herbal vegetation, floral, smoky, nuts, spices, slight bitter, dry, fermented sour, sweet grass, wood, earth, toast, mild sugar, mildly savory, orange peel, a spicy and tart and tangy citrus background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Latakia, Virginia, Oriental/Turkish and Cavendish supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

This has a spicy BBQ aroma to it and the perique is strong but pleasant. Great room presence but not overwhelming. I'd buy again.
Solid, but not the best.

IT's a pretty solid english blend, not really much to say about it. It's pretty much the definition of an English blend. But nothing really stands out.
还算能接受，不过不适合我的口味

刚开始点火有点苦，紧接着是浓郁的Latakia味道，头三分之一斗味道很浓，往后越来越淡，用不同口径的斗都试过，个人觉得用小口径斗抽着比较舒服，口味更加浓郁醇厚，有一点香甜的味道

My experience with C&D blends has been rather hit or miss; they have some of favorites, and they have some that make me wonder if they even pay attention when they're blending them. So I'm always hesitant to buy a new blend when no one has gone b... Read More
efore me and left a review. I'm pleased to report that I have enjoyed this blend. Good moisture content, nice smokey barbeque-like flavor, and an awesome tin art. Flavor is very nice; it is (in my opinion) pretty oriental forward, so if that's your thing then you'll really enjoy this blend. I personally can take it or leave it, but it's not so overpowering that it becomes off putting to me. All in all a very enjoyable english blend. Well done C&D. Read Less
