(3.17)
Blue Boar was a classic "American/English" blend, made by the American Tobacco Company. It was made of different cuts and types of burley with bright Virginia and a light touch of Latakia. The match version of Blue Boar combines rough cut white burley, white cube burley and a ribbon cut toasted burley, with golden Virginia and just the right amount of smoky Cyprian Latakia. This blend is an all day type of blend, with just enough Latakia influence to be interesting, while not overpowering the palate. Transport yourself back in time with a modern interpretation of an iconic blend with Match Blue Boar.

I am somewhat surprised by this blend as it is IMO fantastic. I have never smoked the original. The burleys are never bitter and add good body to the smoke. The Virginia adds the sweetness that keeps the smoke interesting. The latakia is lightly applied enough to remind you it's there. I could swear there is a topping, but according to the formula there isn't. If pushed the bottom third of the bowl can be harsh but slow smoking is the ticket. Packs easy and burns clean. For the price you can't go wrong. I've smoked this in all sized pipes and it seems to make no difference. Set it and forget it. Highly recommended for the simpler things in life.
