Bengal Slices Bengal Slices White
(3.79)
From P&C's website: Bengal Slices White is the newest entry in the Bengal Slices line. This is a flavorful and fragrant blend of fine Virginias combined with a fair amount of rich Cyprian Latakia along with some amazing Orientals that creates an exotic flavor and amazing aroma. Using the same crumble cake format as the original, Bengal Slices White is easy to prepare, and the blend is just a touch lighter than Bengal Slices and has no top note added. The finish is so clean that this can be smoked before a meal without interfering with your ability to taste your food. If you enjoy complex Latakia blends, this is one you'll love.

I bought this as many others did, with no recollection of the original blend of years gone by. Having tried (and loved) the new Bengal slices, I was immediately interested in this blend when it was released.
On opening, you find 1 or 2 crisp little brownies. Unsliced and ready to crumble. Not a loose crumble kake, but not requiring a knife either.
This blend is a magic of some sort. It has all the delightful nothingness that leads men to drink English tea, eat mushrooms and smell fertile soil. Like oatmeal with cinnamon and butter. I mean to say it is both satisfying, without scratching any particular itch.
It has Virginia's yes, but they are not the dominant flavour. Latakia as well, but that is subdued. It is far from a lat bomb.
The star of the show are the Orientals. I expect there are Izmir and Yenidje both. Basma is quite likely also.. Sour at times, earthy at times, lightly bitter, with a floral quality. It is that last characteristic that leads me to suspect Basma. As you reach the midpoint of the bowl, there is a woody vinegar aroma. Like wet cedar. I can't quite say what I enjoy about it, but enjoy it I do. To the tune of 4 stars. I think I'll buy another 10 tins or so.
Masterfully blended. Russ Oullette is just showing off at this point.
