Before I get to my "TIRADE" , here is my review: Not being a fan of The Latakia/Rum combo, I'm really scratching my head why I tried this. That said, this is the best I've tried. I did have to let this breathe for a few weeks in order to reduce the rum influence , then this blend shined. It tends to lean towards the "sour" rather than the "sweet" side and it never has a bitter background note that I get from other Rum topped blends. I would put this in the aro camp and I found that a cob is better than a briar
NOW MY TIRADE: I will never buy any of this manufactures blends again simply because of principle. When you look closely at the weight of the tin , it's only 40 grams, deceptively packed in the standard 50 gram tin. I will not personally support this trend

When I opened the tin i promptly thought Solent Mixture!! Same smell same cut same ingredients. Even the cavendish is described as Original Cavendish, as in Mac Barens description of old. I swear both tobnaccos are indentical!! Do anybody know where the Eric Stokkebye tobaccos are manufactured? Great tobacco, see my review of Solent Mixture but not worth the extra money

This is my fourth review. I have been smoking pipes for a few months, and cigars for a few years.
Cut is pretty conventional ribbons. Tin note is mild but pleasant: a hint of rum and Latakia. There's not much of the latter; my pipe-smoking friend, who is not at all a fan of Latakia, detected it but didn't find it unpleasant. More of the rum note comes out on smoking, but it's not overwhelming. This was pretty easy to light and keep lit, and it burned down pretty well.
This stuff is good to keep around. It's not mind-blowing, but it's not troublesome, either.
