A & C Petersen Caledonian Melange No.466 Grand Reserve
(3.10)
A solid and classic blend with great character and a distinctive balance between Virginia, Oriental tobaccos and a slight touch of latakia from Cyprus. Truly a continental, mild mixture with an outstanding taste balance.

I would swear there is also burley in this melange! No 466 is a distinctive latakia offering, with a coarse cut. The proportion of Latakia is rather modest, making it more a light condiment. I find it is fairly mild for an English.

This is a cased "Ã la danoise" latakia mixture. This is really too light of an english and more of an aromatic in my view.

This is a fairly lightweight (flavour-wise) "Modern English" style blend. It does what it sets out to do well, but didn't have enough character for me to come back for more. I like my Englishes to be clearly English: rich and heavy. This one's more middle-of-the-road. It's a bit coarse too so it doesn't pack as easily as some tobaccos. Other than that there's really nothing to criticise in this tobacco.

Tended to smoke a little hot for me . The taste was a bit bland , though not all together bad . I plan to try this one again soon and should I feel it necessary I will revise this review . As it stands I find it uninteresting .
