A very monotonous tobacco. A good dose of latakia completed with tasteless young Virginias. I sense no flavoring, yet it bites like a heavy aromatic. A real tongue scorcher.

Low quality + tongue bite + flatness = highly NOT recommended.

This is a pleasing English, in which the Virginias tend to dominate and the latakia provides smokiness and depth.

I can't say that this blend is outstanding, but the quality is good and it is not unpleasant. The red Virginias make it bite a bit if you aren't careful, but they also add a nice tanginess.

So, while a little middle-of-the-road, this is not bad stuff. You've got my permission to try it.;>
