Briliant blend if you are a lover of Latakia. Once you open the tin you're greeted with a smell similar to that of a new pair of shoes. It smokes very smoothly, burns evenly and slowly and oddly enough, it remains fresh well until the bottom of the bowl. When you relight you'd notice a pleasant coco nutty smell. I'd definitely reorder it and highly recommend it.

Full marks to Brigham for the Canadiana presentation with this series, some of the best looking tins on the shelf, very nice indeed.
Smells great from the tin; however, combusting in the chamber it's ho-hum. Burns well, somewhat full flavour, and steady all the way down, it does leave the back of the throat a bit dry; not keen on that. There's simply not enough interest to beckon me back for another pack I'll finish the tin and move on, merely okay like a baked potato without the steak and salad.
There are plenty of other blends which captivate me more: many from S. Gawith Commonwealth comes to mind, many from Cornell & Diehl, Dan, McClelland, and more . . .
