A great, cool - smoking mixture for a crisp fall day. This mild to medium bodied Latakia blend has plenty of exotic, fragrant Orientals to add depth and complexity, with enough Virginias to bring in a hint of sweetness. The cut of the tobacco and the amount of Cyprian Latakia have been blended to keep the blend from getting too hot while smoking outdoors in the cool, autumn breeze. The flavor and aroma are perfectly suited to the chilly temperatures because of its smoky, comforting fragrance.

The tin note is that classic tobacco smell of English blends, similar to 965 and EMP. The flavor is strongly influenced by the latakia and oriental tobaccos. If I had to describe it in a word, I would choose "crisp". This is very nearly a 4.

Nice english with good oriental notes. Latakia is present but not overpowering. Moisture was spot on. Smoked well without any prep. Cut is a nice ribbon. A very pleasant smoke that was easy and user friendly. Smoked to the heel with few relights and no dottle. Bought 2oz. and i am happy with the first bowl. I like it as with most of Russ’s blends.
