| The latakia and oriental notes play off the Virginia base very well. There's not much complexity to this compared to Black House or Torina, but it has a pleasing Balkan taste, and a very mild sweetness. The description claims this is full bodied, but I would say it's not quite that - close, but not quite. No lat-bomb for sure. I consider it to be a high quality blend that, for some reason, doesn't get more attention. It's well made, but there are other blends out there that resemble it in taste, so maybe the fact that it doesn't stand out and shout "I'm different! Smoke me.", may be why it's not more popular. But it's worth the money and I've enjoyed it every time I've bought a tin.

| A fellow pipesmoker buddy of mine picked up a tin of this tobacco to try, (as we always sample each others new acquisitions), and gave me a bit to try.
I packed a medium bent pot and proceeded to light. Lighting was easy, (one re-light only), and the flavor from the get-go was slightly sweet on the palate. I could taste a mild fullness of the blend with a sweet note playing in and out as I proceeded down the bowl.
Virginia and the casing used seem to be the main characters, with the Oriental and Latakia components playing a background, secondary role
As for the casing? Maybe a simple sugar, nothing with a distinct flavor, pleasant, not overpowering.
The ash is grey and I did not encounter any 'gunk' in the heel upon completion. A nice change of pace that does not offend the household.
Full bodied, but on the medium side.
