Predominantly Oriental/Turkish

Product: Solani Gold Label- English Luxury - 779 50g
A good English blend that has more Oriental and Turkish than Latakia and Virginia. It tastes like cigarette with Oriental tobaccos. It needs a few relights. Nicotine level is low. Good blend but overpriced.
An Exquisite Experience!

After a decade away from piping, I returned on a pilgrimage to find my own, personal Holy Grail blend. Within a few months I've accumulated 25 tins of various English, Oriental and Balkan blends, mostly aged 5-20 years. Upon lighting my first bowl of... Read More
this tin (2002 vintage) I knew instantly that I had found what I was searching for. The skies opened, the veil parted, and I was instantly transported to a hallowed space where I found myself communing with my ancestors, all of us gathered around a smoldering hearth in quiet fellowship. Successive bowls have been equally transcendant. Read Less

A very nice English Tobacco. Opening the tin reveals a blend that is very much on the darker side with a relatively high moisture content. The aroma from the tin was pleasant for me as a smoker, smokey with a hint of being sweet. The relatively finer... Read More
cut made for easy packing and there was no problem with lighting it which was a bit of a surprise given the higher moisture content it seems to have, at least to the touch.
The smoke itself was flavorful though not overly strongly so. The taste was in line the tin aroma, smokey and slightly sweet with a hint of nuttiness backing up the full tobacco flavor. Again given the full flavor and relative thickness of the smoke, I found it surprisingly mild on the tongue and mouth. The room note was as you would expect for an English, fine for me as a smoker but probably not appreciated as often by non-smokers. Read Less

After the first bowl I’m very unimpressed. Not much in the Latakia department and with heavy oriental that I love they fall pretty flat. I’m finding nothing here that is redeemable with such a high price tag. Also so far I have gotten more of a cigar... Read More
ette flavor than anything and after smoking cigarettes for 25 years I find this terrible. English blends at this price point should be divine and not reminiscent of lousy cigarettes. Read Less

Tin note of smoky sour wine. Tobacco is a ribbon cut of brown and dark brown with a little tan and black mixed in. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is me... Read More
dium and moderately consistent, with notes of herbal floral, spices, smoky, sugar, bread, wood, peaty vegetation, mild incense, sour hay, spicy, earthy, leather, sweet grass, orange peel/zest, mildly savory, a tart citrus background note, and a peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Latakia and Virginia supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

A high-quality and well-balanced English blend. Similar to standard mixture by dunhill, but perhaps a bit more Virginias and a bit less orientals.

I got a sample from a friend and it’s just as SP says in the description. I even picked up a little bit of coconut probably from the orientals. However, I prefer a more robust English blend and was too mild for my liking, but still a quality smoke.

Great VA Oriental-forward English blend, Latakia taking more of a supporting role here. Light to medium, but with great flavor and quality components.Not a lat-bomb English by any means, but it can be a real treat when I’m in the mood for something m... Read More
