This tobacco is loaded with Cavendish and light on the Latakia. Still, it does have some flavor and is pretty smooth. I can see where latakia fans might wonder "where's the beef?"
The leaf is rather chunky and the Burley element gives this one some American English charm. A cool blend that is unique in flavor. I rather liked it.

I was fortunate enough to score a tin of this from 1997, and to best of my knowledge it was at least 27 years 5 months old at the time I opened it. It was fantastic. Not 4 stars fantastic but definitely 3. It was a very sweet lightly smoky blend. I am not sure how much of the sweetness could be attributed to age, so take this review with a grain of salt.
It was an easy smoking blend that was rather mild in strength and medium in flavor. It performed well with no biting issues to note. I would say that I wouldn't hesitate to buy another tin to see how it tastes fresh if I didn't already have too much tobacco in my cellar, so it has that going for it.

Tin note is sweet and spicy. The tobacco is coarse cut. The tobacco cupcake wrapper was brown and stained with whatever toppings were used. My tin may have been in the warehouse for some time. I actually found the tobacco very nice for what it is. Cavendish and spice forward. The sweet Virginia is defiantly there. I am not sure why they call this English because what little Latakia is there, is just in the background. The strange thing was I can smell the Latakia in the room smoke but barely taste it in the smoke. The spiced Cavendish and the Virginia's are driving the show. No tongue bite if puffed slow the flavors are much better as well. If puffed hard it has some bite and is much stronger. I like the tin I received and if I was sure the next tin was the same I would buy it again. Update on review I tried this again after letting it sit out and dry a bit more and I found it was much better 3.5 stars no bite at all just needs some drying time
