Craven - Ready Rubbed.
I reviewed this years ago but as my wife picked me up a selection of tobaccos from a local store, of which this was one, I re-piped it and thought I'd re-post.
Unlike the majority of previous reviews I don't find this that bad. Great? No. Horrible? No. Mediocre? Yes.
One of the biggest issues I found was the dryness. Because it felt a bit crispy the speed of the burn was too much. But, although this is a negative I find the rest relatively positive: the Virginia forms the backbone of the smoke, followed by the Oriental/Turkish, with a slight amount of Latakia wood; the Lat's maybe a touch stronger to begin with. I don't get bitten by it, and despite the dryness of the blend it doesn't feel too hot.
The nicotine's medium, and I don't find the room-note too bad.
If it weren't for the dryness I'd recommend this, but mainly because of that I'll somewhat recommend it.
Two stars.

Firstly I can't agree with the constituent parts as listed above. Certainly no Latakia or Orientals. Virginia yes, plus the nutty flavour of Burley and a background sweetness of what tastes like honey. Not a bad smoke.
