Murray Sons & Co, Ltd Murray's 1A Linfield
(3.60)
Murray's 1A Linfield is as traditional as an English style blend gets. A good amount of dark, smoky, Cyprian latakia is joined by select bright Virginia and zesty Orientals to create a true connoisseur's latakia blend. Wonderful after a nice meal or just before bedtime, this is a rich, cool, and smoky delight.

A very nice English. Though the smoky, woody Lat leads this is in no way a Lat bomb. The Orientals aren't far behind with very nice notes of sour wood and buttery spice. The Virginias hold down the fort with a fair amount of sweet hay. I find this to be a very pleasant smoke. Smooth and tasty. Burn is cool and consistent. I can find no faults with this fine blend.
Medium in body and taste. No added flavoring.

I really like this blend. It's got a nice amount of latakia. (I love a lat bomb. I'm not sure this is, but it has a healthy dose at the very least.) Still, it has a nice balance with a nice amount of bright Virginia. I don't detect a large amount of anything else, but that's perfectly fine with me. In essence, if you enjoy latakia, I think you will like this. If not, stay away. It isn't for the light-hearted, but if you want something worth your time to sit and contemplate with, this is a great option.

one word: Bitching! In my Morta billiard it's very lively, if Germain's English blends are refined and subdued, this is like a bunch of high school kids on their way to their first concert! the virginia's are caramel sweet, the Latakia is smoky but not musty, the orientals are tangy but not sour. In my cob it calmed down a bit but remained in character but calmer, like dad had to put his arm over the seat of the car on the way to the concert, LOL. would heartily recommend!
