I put JA Blends in the following hierarchy: English-brut and smoky, Virginia-strong, sweet and smoky and Scottish-smooth and sweet. I have to say this was a pleasant surprise and very rewarding experience. I was turned off by the Mac's Scottish Mixture, but JASB has to one of their crown jewels. Well balanced, no bite and similar to its brother blends but with something more. This is excellent all the way around. If you're use to watered down aromatics, this may not be for you. However, if you want to branch out to non-aros this is a great starting point. The virginias take center stage. The burley gives a well-rounded nutiness, the Orientals a slight butteriness and the Black Cavendish gives the blend depth. And the room note is just heavenly. Four stars in my book.
