John Cotton John Cotton's Sweet English
(3.25)
Made of burley, Virginia, black cavendish and latakia.
Notes: John Cotton's Sweet English is where the English-style latakia blend meets a gentle aromatic. Burley, Virginia and black cavendish are blended with enough latakia to make this a great choice when you want to enjoy a pipe but want a pleasant room note - gentle enough to enjoy all day.

The grassy, tart and tangy citrusy Virginia is the base of the blend, and has a little dullness. The nutty, earthy, woody, molasses sweet burley is a supporting player, and not forceful in any way. The unsweetened black cavendish adds some brown sugar smoothness. The Cyprian Latakia is lightly smoky, earthy, musty and woody sweet, and does just a little more than underscore the experience. I’m not sure what the sweet, very lightly creamy topping is, but I get something almost vanilla-like, and it tones down the tobaccos a little. The strength is a step past the mild mark, while the taste is close to the center of mild to medium. The nic-hit is very mild. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a very consistent sweet and mildly savory flavor. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and requires a few relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. Can be an all day English aromatic smoke. Two and a half stars.
