| I am uncomfortable with the concepts of "crossover" or "appeals to both aromatic and English smokers." It's like running a business called "Everything And More!" After all, making an aromatic- English mix is pretty easy to do yourself, especially if you don't dedicate pipes to certain flavors.
That being said, this is not a bad tobacco. Purposely mixing Black Cavendish with Latakia works, to my surprise. But there is very little Latakia here. The casing is average - I only had to leave this in a sunny window for one day, but the PG content must be high because it rehydrated on its own and consistently gurgled, leaving 25% dottle.
It burns like burley, but it surprised me it offered me no tongue bite at all. (Burley bites me like a cobra.) All in all, a nice offering, but I won't be buying any more.
