Schürch Unakit (Jak)

Hans Schruch groups his blends into three categories with the first being English, then Modern English and Aromatic. Unakit falls into the Modern English category. It arrives on the dry side and pipe ready. The pouch scent is wonderfully sweet and smoky. It packs with ease and like all of the Schurch blends, it is made of high quality tobacco. As a lover of Schurch blends, Unakit was the first blend that didn't ring my bell. Although billed as a Modern English, the Virginia's lead the way, with an underlying sweetness from the unflavored Cavendish. The Latakia is relegated to the background. Although it has unflavored Cavendish, I don't see the connection to Black Mallory in flavor as it lacks the depth of that blend. Unakit didn't bite me, but it does burn hot. I also found it to be fairly one dimensional. I have experimented with Unakit in all different bowl sizes with the same result. With so many great blends coming from Schurch, this isn't one that will be making a return to my cellar.
