Intriguing!

At first glance this blend isn't anything out of the ordinary, it has all the normal components you'd expect from an English. The initial flavor is very strong hay/grassy, and the smoky/woody-ness you'd expect from Latakia. But beyond that, there's a lot of fruitiness and a very strong herbal flavor that I can't quite place. It's somewhere between Deer tongue and fresh mint. None of the flavors in this blend are very bold, but if you slow down and don't pay too much attention you can get some really interesting notes....Read More
An average mild English

This one’s a bit mild for my tastes. It’s not bad, just nothing special. I can think of a half dozen other mild English tobaccos I’d reach for. 3.5 Stars.

The C& D Bulk Library Project Stratfordshire Smoking Pipes rated 4.1 This English ribbon is a beautiful mélange of browns and black, and is deliciously composed of Virginia, Latakia, Oriental and Black Cavendish. It offers aromas of leather, cotton , vinegar, oak / wood - something "sweet" somewhere. Sampled in a MM Missouri Pride. Interesting to me that this blend follows Star of the East - mainly because its just serendipity - they are both rated 4.1, and they fall this way alphabetically within the rating tier - and Stratfotshire has the same components as STOE , plus the addition of black cavendish. Not going to lie - I thought that the addition of the black cav might hurt the blend - I can't seem to get set with if I like it or hate it sometimes - but this sampling shows it's the right answer for a question that was not even asked. This blend is softer than STOE - either because of the black cav or maybe the latakia and or Orientals were tweaked - but it's a welcome softness. Whereas when I sample STOE I said " Man, i like this", when I sampled Stratforshire I said " Oh - damn! This is GOOD!" The Virginias also seem more prominent here - tangy and sweet and fragrant while wearing the smoke leather of the latakia like a bathrobe. Noce thick fragrant smoke here ,and on the retro hale it's a but sharper to the nose than it into the sipped sampling. I say it is softer - and it is - and it's kind of a "less is more" result - like the sum of all these parts exceeds that of STOE. Its only fitting if STOE was a 4, this would have to rate a point higher. This is good - I'll cellar some for sure. My rating: 5 This is the 62nd of 101 blends I am reviewing for this project....Read More

2026 Review: Three years ago (2023) I did not like it. Rated only 2.5 stars then. It has improved with a little age. Flavors have melded and mellowed. Virginias seem softer and sweeter, a better partner for the orientals. Latakia has less creosote, which is a good thing IMO. My major gripe is the cavendish. There is too much of it, and it is full of glycol or glycerine. Stratfordshire could be a 4-star blend without that crap. As it is, I rate it somewhere between 3 and 3.5, maybe three and a quarter....Read More
