Vauen N°5 Oxford Blend
(2.57)
This luxury blend is carefully composed of broken flake, black cavendish, various Virginia leaf and burley. The finesse and fresh taste has been achieved by the popular bergamot that has made the noble namesake "Earl Grey" world famous.
Notes: Formerly known as "No. 5 Earl Grey Flavour." Due to new regulations this is now called: "N°5 Oxford Blend" and has a simple blue label, like all Vauen blends have now.

I purchased this because I too like Earl Grey tea. However, the overpowering orange flavouring put me off. It tasted like orange crush in a pipe. So I jarred it up and forgot about it for over a year. When I dug out the jar and opened it the orange flavour had subsided just enough to deliver the taste originally promised. Plus I can taste the virginia's and the cavendish. I could see this becoming one of my regular smokes. Only problem is it seems to have gone out of production. I can't find it anywhere.
