A fine blend. Granted, a bit too burley-forward to be a regular smoke for me, but I enjoy the occasional bowl. I do like the idea of the addition of a wee bit of Latakia-seems to bring it together, making it not "just another burley." This arrived quite dry, and after a year in the jar, is at exactly the same level of dryness, which is to say, perfect for smoking right out of the jar. Taste does not seem to have been affected in any way. Even though I prefer Virginias, I can't give this a bad rating. It's like a more elegant version of a "codger burley!" Nevermind that burley wasn't around in Jefferson's time.

Sultry is a good word to describe this. The burley (or Kentucky?) makes this blend seem quite buttery to me, which I very much enjoyed. It took a few bowls of this for me to appreciate this, as it seems to be a little picky on how lightly it wants to be puffed. It wants to be puffed gently, but not too lightly, and steadily. I found the ingredients to overall go well together, but I felt like there should either be more latakia or none at all and just add more Turkish. Then again, I usually prefer more latakia in a blend if it is going to have it at all.
