Rattray's - Red Rapparee 100g
Quite good
I'm told this is Scottish. It burns very nicely, I think the oriental and Cavendish make for a very nice smoke that's rather easy on the mouth. This can hit the spot if you want a full English flavor but also be an afternoon or warmer weather smoke. I do however have an issue very similar to Peterson 965 where sometimes or perhaps in some pipes it just seems off and tastes wrong. That's just a peculiarity though, it's worth trying.

Very good
Very good blend. Good latakia flavor, the darkness of a Balkan but not as rich as some of his others. This has an old dusty quality to it. I find it sits a little heavy on the palate and burns a little hot so I get less complexity and nuance than with some other Pease English blends but it's definitely worth a try and I ordered more to have around.

Great, don't sleep on it
It's a little intense and not for every occasion but it's a delicious and very rich smoke. It's a very mild English to me with plenty of natural sweetness and a smooth, pleasant and thick smoke, the cigar leaf flavors drive it for me. This is something a little different but extremely good from the best blender in the game, great product.
