| This was a weird experience for me. I loved the initial taste and loved the smell. Rich, dark, smokey and just a little sweet. Easy to pack and easy to keep lit. At first I thought I had found another favorite.
Then it hit me. This tobacco left an off/unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth. In some ways, it was like I had just smoked a bowl of some goopy sugar-coated drug store tobacco. You know . . . the kind that no longer looks like natural tobacco but some semi-translucent perma-moist stuff that will last forever. In all seriousness, it's almost as if the tobacco was cased. Strange because the tobacco smoke is not really sweet like it was cased, it's just that after I finished the bowl, it sure seemed like it was. Very odd and I can't explain it.
But for the aftertaste, I would keep this around.

| If you want a Latakia blend that is smooth and tasty, reach for this. It isn't overwhelming and delivers a nice, satisfying smoke. It even has a fairly decent room note to it.
I like the balance of the sweet, nutty, and smoky.
Too bad the price is so bloody exorbitant, I might stock up on some.

| Dan Tobacco is to be commended for the many truly fine tobacco blends we have available to us on the market today, including Timms London 1000.
This heady brew contains a moderate amount of high quality latakia and sumptuous Turkish leaf that combine with the Virginia base to make this one really shine.
There are many fine English blends on the market today, but to find one with this much strength is rare.

| Another incredible blend from Dan Tobacco, London Blend #1000 delivers the goods. A very full English blend with enough latakia to make any wife scream. Despite the heavy load of latakia (which is more evident in the aromas, both tin and room) the other component tobaccos hold their own rather wll and #1000 is surprisingly balanced. It is definitely full, very rich and luxurious. To quote many reviewers, this tobacco is a symphony of flavors which tantalize as well as satisfy. This is also a favorite winter smoke of mine. There is nothing like sitting by a burning fireplace reading a book, or listening to some Bill Evans, with a large pipe filled with #1000; as whiffs of the powerful smoke bellow from the bowl. Life is good.
