Mild and relaxing

I’m a huge fan of this blend. It’s mild and relaxing yet complex enough with the oriental forward profile. I have many jars of English blends and in the past six months this is the one I’ve smoked the most.

If only it was stronger

at I believe makes the blend so tasty and good as well as superior to Original Oriental. Latakia though present throughout stays on background. Tobacco taste is sweet and spicy. Delicious altogether.
My problem with this blend lies in its strength or to be more precise in its lack of it. In 2012 I thought it to be mild to moderate in strength and this blend was one of three morning tobaccos of mine. But with passing of time perception changes as well. Today I believe this blend to be somewhere between very mild and mild and after long consideration and additional tins of course removed Skiff from rotation on basis of strength.
Nevertheless, as I already mentioned it is a very good tobacco which I would strongly recommend to anyone who is into Oriental blends or prefer mild English blends....Read More

Almost

indeed present, and was delicious to me in that moment. The second and third bowl were just as enjoyable, and at that time I would have rated this blend among my top three. But by the fourth, something started to change. The pipe I used to smoke Skiff became haunted, though the word "ghosting" seems too light a term to describe the phenomenon I experienced. Rather, every bowl smoked in that pipe thereafter was presided over by the Skiff Phantom. Anything smoked in the pipe, any blend whatsoever, tasted like Skiff. Hell, even when I smoked Skiff in that pipe, it somehow tasted more like Skiff, its sour charm bolstered by its phantom in the pipe, intensifying into a pungent soapiness. The pipe has since been decommissioned, as even a draw on an empty bowl delivers that soapy-sour Skiff flavor. I still have most of the tin, and will likely give it a few more months before trying it again. I suspect, however, that this blend will ultimately end up in the garbage....Read More

Helluva bite to it.

It bites me every time I smoke it. And the flavor is too mild and bland to put up with the bite.
