I am a bit miffed as to why this blend hasn’t been reviewed prior to this one. Diamond Head is a well done kake by Hermit. It isn’t the Latakia powerhouse that are some of the other Hermit blends, but a balanced English blend that’s easy to rub out (my preferred method) and DH offers some complexity to boot. It took me about four months to finish the tin as it isn’t an everyday smoke for me. DH should benefit from aging and it’s worth a few tins for the cellar. Those that seek a solid English Krumble Kake or those that like Hermit Blends should enjoy this well made blend. Recommended.
