| I love Syrian latakia. This is the best syrian blend I have tried. Sweet and nutty with that syrian incense like cloying taste. I want to puff it all day it is so good. My second favorite tobacco.
Burns well and tastes phenomenal. Anyone who enjoy Syrian should try this blend. It is truly the blend that all other syrian englishes want to be!

| This has become one of my favorite English blends of all time. The Syrian Latakia in this really sings and the overall blend is one of the sweetest and nuttiest tasting English blends I have ever encountered. I am definitely going to stock up on about 10 tins of this and recommend you seek this one out if you are looking for an absolutely delicious English blend.

| I am smoking a tin of the McClelland Collector Club Series tins of Samovar. A CPCC blend from the series. I find that it lights well and burns well. For me that is an essential element for any blend. The taste is true to an Oriental mix. No bite or harshness to this blend; and it delivers a good steady taste from start to finish. This is going to be one of my regular blends in rotation. Highly recommended.

| I must agree with Pipestuds review! absolutely delicious! I have one more tin left from 1994. The syrian is in the background but has moments when that fruity, smoky taste lets you know its there. the orientals are strong and sometimes almost too powerful. the tin note when first opened is offensive to say the least. like old sweaty socks, but man, what a taste. I have yet to find any tobacco on the market today that tastes like that. Excellent in colder weather. I once smoked this just outside the Russian tea room in Chicago after having Black Russian tea from a samovar after an incredible dinner and i must say I will never forget it. Stunning. If you come across a tin pay through the nose to get it. I would.

| Samovar is without question the best of the PCCA blends i have tried to date. I was fortunate enough to purchase a variety of PCCA tins in an estate sale and have had fun going through them.
Samovar is loaded with spicy, smooth, yet dark and strong Oriental leaf. The Orientals made for a unique presentation and the Virginia and Syrian Latakia were both somewhat in the background of this smoke.
If you are a fan of powerful Oriental leaf (hard to find,) Samovar may be worth looking for. I don't know how many tins were produced, but I imagine scoring a tin on Ebay would be worth the added price if this is your cup of tea. I know I'll be hunting for more.
