Motzek Old Curly Mixture
(3.33)
A pleasantly soft savory blend based on Virginia and perique and black cavendish. A touch of latakia make this mixture very exciting.
For lovers of unspoiled, natural tobacco mixtures, this blend will also appeal to people who don't like Latakia at all.
Notes: "Type 7 Curly Mixture" has a new name: Old Curly Mixture

The Virginias are a little citrusy and grassy with some earth and fermented dark fruit. They form the base of the blend. I also believe they are responsible for the mild floral note. The spicy, raisin and plumy perique plays a supporting role. The unsweetened lack cavendish adds a very light sugariness to provide a slight smoothness to the blend. The smoky, woody sweet Cyprian latakia is a tad more than a background player, and continually underscores the experience. The nic-hit is a step closer to medium than it is to mild. The strength and taste thresholds are also a little closer to medium than they are to mild. Won’t bite or get harsh. Easily burns to ash at a moderate pace with a savory, floral, mildly sweet flavor that also translates to the after taste. Has some nuances that waft in and out as you go along, so there is a little inconsistency in the taste. Leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Can be an all day smoke. Three and a half stars.

I basically agree with Jiminks in the evaluation of this blend, although I am not such an elaborate reviewer and fine a palate. To me, the base of the blend is sweet-sour and earthy. I can also feel a very decent sweet topping, probably given by the Cavendish. I cannot identify the Perique, but that's my problem, I have never been able so far to distinguish the actual taste of Perique in any blend. What indeed puzzles me is the Latakia, which I can't taste at all. I would rather say there is some Kentucky in here (but there isn't, apparently). So I suppose the very sparsely added Latakia could be responsible for some of this earthiness I feel, but I would not consider this to be an English or Scottish mixture, rather a natural-tasting blend. Anyway, I like it very much, and I subscribe the three and a half stars.
