t this one is astringent in its presentation. There is no cohesion of leaf in this blend at all. I smoked it in 4 of my best, most reliable Latakia pipes, with nary a positive result.

I checked 'strong' because 'nauseating' wasn't offered. Lastly, there is the matter of flavoring. I am not sure if any of the other reviewers made mention of it, but his concoction is cased in some way or another, very sharp at lightup. This blend was not conceived by my two friends, nor will I revisit it. Read Less

Others have compared this to Skiff Mixture, and I agree but i wo... Read More
uld say a cross between Skiff and Squadron Leader. Woody and spicy Orientals and Latakia. Sweet and grassy Virginia's boarder on. When I say a cross between the two, I mean in a Germain kind of way. Germain Tobacco's all have something about them that makes them very unique. Balkan flavor but not wuite malty. Very unique. burns cool and dry. Great smoke Read Less
