| Yet another latakia blend...ok as far as that goes.
NR highly for name alone...ignores the suffering of miners and their families. Uptown's should be ashamed to put forth this named blend...in a day when smokers are under a microscope, such selfishness does nothing but darken the smoker's image.
Monumentally stupid...as is ignoring the insensitivity in any review. What are we becoming????

| This blend was gifted me to try and review and I have to say, it quite a nice blend to sit and relax with on a cold day with a cup of good hot tea in your hand. It is a strong latakia blend with VA mixed in for sweetness. It is a dark rough leaf with some medium brown flakes. It smells leathery and spicy in the pouch and mine came in the perfect moisture level to load easily and was very easy to get lit with the two match technique. Once lit, it bursts with flavor, a rich, creamy, Latakia taste with a touch of sweetness. It is a bold yet non biting blend with lots of flavor and as it burns down, it stays this way all the way to the bottom of the pipe. It burns very dry and just leaves a fluffy gray ash in the bottom of the pipe, no moisture or dottle. This blend uses Syrian tobacco so it has a sweet, spicy and mellow taste. Not one of the very best Englishes I have smoked, but darn near. I recommend it.

| A great Syrian bulk blend. Arrives a little wet and needs some airing out before smoking. The taste is heavy on Syrian, but there isn't much balance in the flavors -- latakia domination. I think the only thing this blends really lacks is a bit sweeter VA to really put it over the top -- that said, it's still far superior to Bohemian Scandal and Rose of Latakia for sheer Syrian taste, IMO. I still prefer 763 or FMAP, but this isn't a bad alternative. If you want to try it, try a few others or just order a bunch to get the price break.
