| This is an interesting tobacco--a mix of cavendish, Virginia, and latakia. It's an aromatic, but I think it comes closer to an English blend in some ways.
Upon opening the pouch, I was greeted by a pleasant aroma in which I could smell the latakia more than anything else. The tobacco was not too moist and not at all sticky. It packs well, lights easily and burns smoothly. This is a tobacco that smokes dry and didn't give me any gurgle at all. It also smoked easily to the bottom of the bowl.
The aromatic component of this blend was pretty light to me. The latakia came through clearly and was the dominant note of this smoke although at times the sweetness of the Virginia came through with a nice tangy mix from the latakia.
I found this to be a mild smoke with a slight sweetness that accented the smokiness of the latakia in a pleasant way.
All in all I found this to be a pleasant blend but one that would probably be more enjoyed by a smoker who likes latakia rather than one who primarily smokes aromatics.
