| I really like this blend. I spent a Saturday afternoon a few years ago smoking several of the house blends the Owl Shop in Worcester, MA has to offer. Mr. Photakis was great to talk with. The knowledge and experience this man has to offer is invaluable. I'm lucky to live so close to the shop. If you're looking for a nice English blend, this is one.

| My second of the Owl Shop blends. This more mellow in tone than Harkness Tower, but being English Latikias they are not entirely dissimilar. I suspect more burley in this as it does smell more more of toffee and is generally sweeter and creamier.
If you are unsure of Balkan-like blends or are coming from aromatic tobaccos, I can see this as a good fit. If you are close to either of the shops in Worcester, MA or New Haven, CT. Not quite for me, but otherwise I cannot really fault it.
