This surprised the hell out of me. For the price, it's a very good smoke. It lights fine, smokes clean all the way to the bottom, and maintains it's character all the way through. I have been comparing it to John Bull, a favorite of mine. This has more body to it and it's a bit more complex. The VA's are sweet and the Burley plays a big role in adding body and nuttiness to it. The Latakia is present but only adds a minimal smokiness to the mix. The perique is very minimal and I only get hints of it throughout the bowl. The Turkish has me stumped though. I don't like a lot of musty Turkish leaves, but this is more spicy. It's a very pleasant smoke that could easily be smoked all day. I wish they sold it in 1lbs bags like their other blends. You can afford to gamble on this blend, so grab some to throw in your lunch box and take it to work.

This is a good English that, to me, is on par with several of the bulk English blend offerings. I'm not very good at articulating some of the specific flavors but I can say that the added smidge of perique is a nice touch. This one is good for the rotation, I pick up a pouch every once in a while and you should too. It tastes much better than the label looks, and the only one that truly is a super value.

Very close to MATCH Walnut in my opinion, but possibly a smidge sweeter and a bit less smokey. I'm not a true English fan by any means, but this is very smokeable to me, if only occasionally. I'm assuming this is English like French fries are French, which is probably why I can smoke it. Note is not really pleasing to anyone I've smoked it around. I might hit a bowl a week of this, just to re-establish my palette. Totally cool with my purchase for that reason alone. I will say the pouch is also surprisingly good quality. I'd say better than any other pouch I think I've ever purchased. Usually after a week, the sides are splitting out of CH, PA, SWR, C.BK, H/H, etc.
I will also say, if you forget and leave a half bowl in your pipe, on the dash of your truck over night, the next day, you'll check your shoes when you get in. You'll check your shoes because the WHOLE cab will smell like hot steamin' green catsh-t. Good GAwd! You'll think twice about smoking another bowl THAT morning. Its been a LOT of years, but I remember even "stankweed" didn't smell that bad the next morning.
