Product: Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court 100g
The first time I walked into Drucquer & Sons University Ave. shop in the early eighty's this was one of the first blends recommended to me, and smoked it regularly. After finishing five bowls, I have to say that this is better than the original. ... Read More
The taste is about what I remember, semi sweet, rich but mild all day smoke that leaves a pleasant after taste on your palate wanting more, but it seems like a more refined and complete blend. The old version had a tendency to smoke a little hot and bite if not careful, this does not. Greg thanks for bringing back an old friend, you did good. Read Less

This is a fantastic blend. its so light but at the same time extremely complex, you can sit back and close your eyes and just try to pick out all the different flavors that come from this amazing baccy, Nuts, plum, a little Fig Newton, toast and whea... Read More

(japanese barley tea). I am really really really Glad I bought this tin. what a perfect example of how to use Latakia ! now lets hope this one sticks around ! Read Less
Wonderful blend!

Product: Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court 100g
An absolutely wonderful all-day English blend. I opened this tin because I needed something that would stand up to multiple bowls as I worked on an extended writing project. This blend more than met that requirement.
With a new tin, this smokes ... Read More
best for me after having "breathed" for 15 or 20 minutes, allowing the mixture to reach a level of sustainable combustibility that released the wonderful subtleties of this blend while remaining bite free. Highly recommended if you are new to English mixtures or looking for a good "all-day smoke". Read Less
Great hybrid for the non-latakia smokers

Product: Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court 200g
This blend is one of the 3 blends with Latakia that I am stocking up on. I normally hold anything with Latakia in disdain, but Mr. Pease has done a great job with the Latakia, where it rounds out any rough edges , instead of bombarding you with a bon... Read More
fire or smoky leather. The small amount of Latakia also adds a nice creamy texture to the smoke, which would make this a nice evening or cold winter's day smoke. I get creamy, nutty notes and just a hint of hay from the Virginia. Due to the low percentage of Latakia, this blend won't cost your mouth for hours like others will (MM965 I'm looking at you) so it is repeatable. Great blend! Read Less
Doesn't Know Itself

Product: Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court 100g
This tobacco doesn't quite know what it wants to be. I get touches of Virginia, then Burley, then Perique spice, but now really in a way that the tobaccos compliment each other. I thought this blend would be more like Morley's Best, which is an excel... Read More
lent example of an old American style English blend. This one doesn't put the Burley out front where it needs to be in a blend like this. This is one of the very few Pease blends I don't care for. It might be a good blend for someone just starting out or trying to transition into unadorned, pure tobacco mixtures. Oh well, I suppose we can't like them all Read Less

I love these tins. They are so classic in their presentation. This blend is slightly sweet, slightly salty blend with great balance. Mostly you get a VaPer touch, and a Burley and Latakia touch, and points where all of that mix into a complex, and co... Read More
mfortable mixture. But it's not overly complex. Mostly, you get the cocoa and nuttiness of Burleys and the flavors of the other ingredients playing off of that. The combustion is great and its flavors and aromas are accessible when sipped. Read Less
Very good, but not what I expected

Product: Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court 100g
I can definitely tell this is made of the highest quality leaf and the ribbon cut is so perfectly fine it lit with one light and stayed lit the whole smoke. The Virginias, burly and perique are very evident. However, the Latakia is imperceptible both... Read More
visually, in the tin note and the smoke. I dug around in the tin and failed to find any dark leaf. It's quite disappointing as an English blend which is what I was looking for. I'll have to try the other blends in the line that promise more Latakia. Read Less

If it was good enough for Byrd to carry to the Antarctic I think it's certainly good enough to carry off to a desert island. This is a blend that will please lots of folks and offend no one. It's primarily all about the Burley/Virginia mix--exceedi... Read More
ngly well-proportioned with the nutty Burleys a little in the lead position for my tastes. There's plenty of flavor and I find it to be very pleasing and satisfying at any time and on multiple occasions during the day. In my opinion this hardly qualifies as an "English" blend because the Latakia is far from substantial--not much more than a pinch or two. And the Perique is also equally reserved. Straight-forward tobacco taste and aroma--tastes like tobacco and smells like tobacco. Deserves closer to 3 circles for strength rather than just 2 circles--this is not a mellow blend, but it is quite smooth and flavorful. Absolutely no detractors and extremely worthwhile! Read Less

Tin note of tart Rasins, sour sweet, and mild smoky. Tobacco is a Ribbon cut of a yellowish tan and brown with a few bits of black. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild to medium.... Read More
No flavoring detected. Taste is mild to medium and very consistent, with notes of fermented vegetation, very woody, molasses, Rasin, cocoa, very earthy, brown sugar, leather, spices, bread, floral, savory, sweet grass, tangy citrus, acidic/spicy, a sweet nutty background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Burley is leading with Virginia, Cavendish and Perique supporting. Latakia is supporting from the cheap seats. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good. Read Less

As a Tobacco Enthusiast I enjoy thinking about those classic blends we no longer have. I often find myself watching folks enjoy a pipe in old movies wondering what is in those bowls!?.
So the opportunity to taste a blend with a proven history is a r... Read More
are treat.
This is also the second 5 star rating I have given a blend with burly. oddly the other blend is a GLPease blend too.
The burly is of the delicate variety with plenty of flavor to the foundation it provides.
As a blend that comforted a tired crewman on a long voyage it has a power level that can be over medium at the end of a large bowl.
But the flavor is well worth the effort and in a smaller bowl it is quite tame with a lively flavor profile.
Recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers wanting to taste a delicious blend with a unique history.
Edit: 12/24/22
As my region has been frozen by an Arctic blast I am limited to small bowls of my most potent blends and as this recipe went to the South Pole I was excited to test it out.
I found the blend to work very well in cold temperatures with the burly tamed even more than normal yet still providing a great foundation with a lot of flavor still present.
I used a cob for the subzero temps and an old canadian when above zero degrees. I do caution using mixed material pipes (metal, acrylic, plastic etc. in such conditions.
I find the long shank of the canadian/lumberman,lovat pipe to resist cracking
far better than other types and the smaller vulcanite bit seems to tolerate the cold as well.
Enjoy this blend year round! Read Less

Not a fan of Latakia but it is very light and works well in this blend. It is best to let the tobacco breathe before smoking. Sweet and sour and musty. Pull slowly and let the smoke surround your face.
