Very Strong Chemical Taste
This blend just tastes like chemicals to me and has a tendency to bite even when dry. The burleys are good and the virginia too, just really don't like whatever they added to it. It doesn't blend well. Rather than a homogoneous flavor, its like i can taste the burleys and virginias, but then there's just that other thing on top of it that is pretty unpleasant. I won't be buying more.

Really Nice
Really like this tobacco. The orientals are pretty noticeavly spicy in this blend, but I wouldn't necessarily say that's a bad thing. Nice sweet virginias and smokey leathery latakia. Would say the orientals probably take the forefront, but as of this review my blend has been sitting in an unopened mason jar for about 3 years so I'm sure it's somewhat different then straight out the tin. Very pleasant though. Relatively mild for an English blend And the room note is not bad. I've actually had people tell me it smells amazing while smoking it. Only reason it loses half a star is because there are other blends I like better (Old Dublin and Westminster to name a few). Really nice though and would absolutely recommend. It is a must try for all pipe smokers.

Perfect English for Latakia Fiends
Absolutely delicious. Smokey, tasty and full. If you like orientals and you like latakia, this is a perfect tobacco for you. It's almost like somebody took old dublin and balkan sasieni and put them together. It's wonderful!

Hands Down My Favorite
This blend is so delicious. The flavors are complex and strong. It smokes easy and dry. Just nothing to hate about it. Absolutely love it!

Good but overhyped.
I've found that it's really pretty subtle in terms of flavor. It's still good and I enjoy it, but not sure if I'd go out of my way to pick up more.

Overrated, but not bad
The hype surrounding this blend was unfortunately not met for me. I wanted to love this blend so much. Everything about it sounds great and it even smells great. Maybe it was just the way I smoke my pipe (I am fairly new), but I really wasn't blown away by the blend. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of flavor. By that I mean it has a wide variety of flavor. However it was very very subtle and that is not a great thing for me. I am going to continue to smoke it and see if anything changes, but the flavor is too subtle for me to love it. Not bad, but not as good as it's hyped up to be.

Amazing!
Delicious English blend. Nutty, earthy sweetness from the Virginia's with a slight tang from the orientals and silky smoky smooth finish from the Latakia. Awesome blend. Fairly new to pipe smoking but I love it so much. One of my favorites.
