pipesandcigars.com Match Presbyterian
(3.22)
This light and tasty blend is made with top-notch Oriental and Turkish tobaccos, which are supported by fine, matured Virginia and, as with the original Presbyterian, just a whisper of Cyrprian latakia - just enough to add a bit of floral smokiness.

I am the type of guy that keeps the first of each tin top purchased to display if it has nice graphics, I use 3M removable tape (that putty type stuff that doesn't hurt walls or paint) and Presbyterian's artwork is my favorite of all so I am biased... It's that whole marketing thing I always talk about (they get me every time) so when I say I truly enjoyed this match version I really did! The Turkish and Virginia are at a perfect level for me and I appreciated the very mild use of Latakia since I can never be sure if my older tins actually contained some or if the Oriental's just tasted and smelled like that leaf. Mild but very flavorful. I try to never judge a Match on its predecessor since batched of leaf vary over the years and there may have been a different process used on a component but for arguments sake I took out an old aged jar of Presbyterian and compared the two. Aside from the obvious differences due to 5 years In a ball jar, they are very similar in strength, taste and aroma which is wonderful in case the original goes the way of Sobranie or Raven's Wing etc etc... A mild, smooth and delicious English blend with enough Nicotine to satisfy! Oh and a great price per ounce. Besides Chatham Manor and Sutliff's Edgeworth Match, this may be my favorite replica of an old time blend!

This probably ain't your English lovers dream, but I happen to love it. I've not had the original Presbyterian, so my opinion is based on only this match blend. I received a 2 oz bag in a sampler and enjoyed it so much I ordered a much larger bag before the sample bag was half worked through.
I enjoy the occasional English or oriental blend, but I find that during the summer months most of them are far too heavy for an enticing outdoors smoke. Being happily married, for me an English is synonymous with "outdoor smoke". This blend is still relatively heavy on the orientals and Turkish, but the combination with bright Virginia just gives it a light, airy, and sweet body that I find refreshing even in the brutal summer heat/humidity. Orientals are on top, with characteristic sweet spice and floral notes. The virginia is a sweet hay-like backup, and the latakia is barely discernible. These are the ratios I've been searching for in a mild english, so I'm thrilled to find it at such a good price point (in bulk to boot!)
This stuff burns so well and so evenly that I don't even have to pay it any mind to smoke a large bowl with no relights. The only negative I found is a tendency to burn a little hotter than some, so cadence is of importance if you want to avoid being bitten. All in all, a very pleasant suprise that's become a standard go-to in my rotation. Highly recommended

A good mixture of tobaccos with the perfect amount (for me) of Latakia. A very popular blend over at pipesandcigars.com because it's always going out of stock! Lights easily and burns well. Very tasty, but I prefer the original.
