Sweet English
Smoking Pipes Rating : 2.3

This ribbon cut English aromatic is comprised of Virginia, Latakia, Burley and Black Cavendish. It has some topping of caramel and vanilla.

I sampled this pipe with many bowls (there’s a hint) using a MM M
issouri Pride (new).

Notes from the bag are a slight Virginia tang, some burnt sugar and the leathery smell I associate with Latakia.

Dammit man, this is nice. Very soft. The Virginia tang and the sweet topping make a nice sweet and sour balance.
Balance. That’s the word for this blend. The Latakia is just enough to be noticeable and it melds with the sweeter elements in a very pleasing way.

This blend is silky smooth. Again I’m struck with how balanced it is. I think it is misnamed - I wouldn’t call it Sweet English - I’d call it Smooth English. It’s like a decent English, just muted.

It is so easy to smoke. When you see folks say “new pipers should avoid aros and start with an English blend” I think this would be a solid suggestion.
How would a tiny teeny bit of Perique show here ? Probably nice but it’s not needed.

Easily an all day blend.

My rating : 5 - I will be buying a pound of this on my next payday.

(This is the 8th of the 101 C&D bulk blends I am sampling.)

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

My new favorite blend. How can an English be better at being an English and Aromatic at the same time? IDK but they did it folks. Medium strength with a very natural delicious sweetness. Ordering more now.

Smoked well, but not a favorite. Its not bad, it just misses the mark, I'm not sure why.
Strange

The first few bowls I liked it, but after smoking my trial ounce I was not a fan. I has a strange sweet cream smell to me and only a slight bit of the good smokey incense of a good English blend. This is a confused blend in my book. Won't buy again.
Thin

Was looking for something a sweet and smoky. This was a little thin on both counts. Overall it was lacking on both aspects IMHO. I'll stick to my custom blend of Sutliff Black Cordial and Dunhill Apertif.

Nice American English

I bought a few ounces of this blend on spec during the recent C&D Bulk sale. Wasn't sure what to expect from it, and when it arrived, I feared I may have chosen poorly as the caramel tin note was rather forward of the tobacco scents. However, all such concerns vanished with the first light. Sweet English is a nicely balance, though mild, American English blend. There is just enough Latakia in there to add a taste of wood smoke, and the caramel/vanilla topping is a soft whisper instead of the raging bellow popular with most aromatic tobaccos. Think Squadron Leader with a touch of round sweetness and you'll get the idea. Pleasant room note and lights/burns well. No bite either. Could be an all-day Summer or indoor smoke, though I suspect it won't stand up as well cold weather. Rated 4 stars. With a bit more Latakia, this could be a 5-star blend for me....Read More

Pouch note of vanilla. This tobacco is a bit strong.The tobacco taste is not strong but as an aromatic fan, it is a bit stronger than I expected. Room note is strong with vanilla in the background. No bite.Burns a bit faster than usual. This tobacco can be smoked by both aro and non aro fans,as to me,it is somewhere in between....Read More
