Blended well, quality tobacco but leaves something to be desired

It's not bad. Strong. Will bite if not careful. A good quality blend but you have to be in the mood for a strong lat blend. I probably won't reach for it much over other English blends out there.

palate. Did I mention you can get it for a lot less than tinned blends? If you like English/Balkan blends and haven't tried this, give it a go. Finally, I've never reached for this blend and regretted it when I finished the bowl....Read More

I had various experiences while smoking all 2oz of this blend. All of them enjoyable. Sometimes I felt an “that was okay” and others it was a “holy hell, that was amazing, which tin was that again?” Like I said, always a good smoking experience. I can’t wait to try the flake cut version!
A solid English Blend

The Latakia is upfront with campfire-like smokey notes. The Turkish leaf tickles my nose. The Virginia gives it a touch of sweetness. I get some citrus notes towards the end of the bowl...a very satisfying smoke. This blend will definitely be a part of my rotation.
Quality unstable from tin to tin

Just OK Ballan, nothing else. Quality is unstable and not consistent from tin to tin
Delicious

I'm a Latakia lover, and this one scratches that itch. Smoky, salty, a bit sour, wonderful. In my top 5 along with Billy Budd, mountain camp, Habana Daydream, and mad Fiddler.

Pretty good smoke. What I expected from the description and reviews. But not my favorite English.

hen settles to a smooth sweet creosote. Now ive been hearing that the flake version is even better! I may go ahead and just order the big boy 8oz can of the flake form. Something keeps calling my back to this blend in my rotation right now. Just something about it. Easy to smoke....Read More
