I smoked worse but I've smoked better. The Virginias aren't spectacular, they irritate my sinuses as Virginia often do early on in the bowl but with little payoff; that is they don't seem to sweeten or develop. The balance with the Latakia isn't bad and I like this sort of a light Lat blend but I'd much rather reach for something like Squadron Leader or Ashbury if I wanted a Virginia forward English. Go slow to keep it from getting harsh. Had a hard time finishing both bowls and don't know if I will finish this sample. Left a fairly bad aftertaste; my mouth taste like I ate an ashtray. Out of 4 stars I'd give it 1.5-1.75. To earn 1 star or less it has to be as despicable as something like Black Ambrosia and PB isn't even close to that horror. Depending on your smoking rhythm and pipe maybe you will get better results. This taste very young so I think this may get better with age if the Virginia would sweeten or at least mellow.

I agree with previous reviews; a nice English blend with latakia and virginias. The balancing is kind of off for me; could use a little more virginias to add a sweetness, and the latakia is on the weak side as well. But this would work great as an everyday smoke, and anyone who enjoys English blends will definitely like this one as well 🙂

Very mild non-description English blend. Weak on the Latakia for me. Packaging is convenient as it arrives in a storable glass Mason jar.Mild enough to be an everyday smoke.Burns slowly and evenly with no re-lights needed. A bit sweeter in the middle and no bite on the bottom. Nothing memorable.

Smoking PB in a EA Carey Anniversary pipe from the 1990’s. This is a mild smooth smoke that goes well late at night. Flavor is like Sherlock Holmes Shag. The cut is almost shag. Nothing I would write home about but a good go to more like a no bite Virginia Been smoking it the next day good afternoon smoke
