The Country Squire Tobacconist P.S. Blend
(3.14)
This blend was the private blend of Paul Simmons, a long-time Squire regular who departed many years ago. Developed in the early 1970s, P.S. Blend is an exquisite hybrid blend, featuring elements of soft aromatic tobaccos blended with the finest Latakia flakes. This tobacco is semi-sweet, spirited, and rich in flavor.

Another great tobacco by the Squire. This blend is noticeable for being an aromatic and an English at the same time, and for getting the best of the two worlds together. Really easy to pack and to light, the smoke is a journey into a realm of flavours which overall blend together so well you'll really want to have another bowl soon after the first is gone! Highly recommended, as all the Squire blends.

This blend is advertised as an English aromatic, but to me, it tastes like black Cavendish with a little bit of latakia. The result is phenomenal.
This blend seems like it has a different black Cavendish base than Black Arrow, but I wouldn't know why that would be the case. Maybe my particular bag just got more of the secret sauce. Nonetheless, I was very impressed with the flavors and complexity that popped out of this blend.
The base is very black Cavendish forward. So you get that mild, soft sweetness that all good Black Cavendish is known for. But this blend adds a depth and a smokiness that pokes through just enough to be interesting and never overwhelming. The latakia is smokey and campfire-y. It's lighter than most latakias that I am familiar with, as in there's no heavy barbecue channeling going on.
I have tried about a dozen TCS blends and at first puff, this one went to the top of the list. Honestly, it probably took Black Arrow as my preferred Cavendish blend from TCS.
