Murray Sons & Co, Ltd Murray's 1862 Whitehall
(2.60)
Murray's 1862 Whitehall is the kind of English-style blend that the all-day pipe enthusiast will love. Sweet Virginia and mellow burley is blended with a bit of Virginia-based black cavendish and smoky latakia in a light enough amount to keep from overwhelming the palate.

The Virginias offer some grass and citrus with minor dark fruit notes and forms the base of the blend. The very nutty, molasses sweet burleys have a touch of earth and provide an important semi-lead. The brown sugar from the black cavendish adds a bit of creamy smooth sweetness. The smokey, woody Cyprian latakia is a team player that plays well with the other components, and often competes with the burleys for attention. I detect a sweet topping, possibly sugar. The nic-hit is mild. Won’t bite and has no harsh moments. Burns at a slightly more than moderate pace, cool and clean with a fairly smooth, rather consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and hardly needs a relight. Has a pleasant after taste that lightly lingers. An easy going all day semi-sweet English.

This is a mild English blend. An entry-level but a pleasant one. The previous reviewers have provided good information. I would like to add some: it smells and tastes, to me, as if Virginias (Cavendish) is dominant with very little Orientals playing in the back. Latakia is there but not the main player. Note that if puffed fast and hard, it burns and makes your mouth sour and give tongue bite. Again, a negative effect of the high content of Virginias.

Based on the tin note, I was expecting this to be a bit more full flavored. Very smoky, with a good amount of sweetness. The flavor is a bit more the other way around.
The Virginia and Burley are more of the focal point, with citrus and nuttiness. The Cavendish and Latakia are really there to just add a bit more sweetness and some smoke.
Happy I picked this up on sale, as it is not likely something I'd pay full price for. Definitely enjoyable, just a bit lacking in overall flavor.
However, if you're just dipping your toes into English blends, this might be a good starting point. Easy going and not particularly challenging.
