I tried this blend in effort to find a room-note that my wife would tolerate (I ordinarily smoke English blends). All I can say is that it's inoffensive. Not terrible, not great. As American blends go, it's not cloying like some, but it's definitely sugary. The sweetness is at its strongest in the first half of the bowl; after that it settles down into tea-biscuit sweetness without Burley for body. There is no Latakia taste, nor any Perique that I can discern, nor even much nuttiness from the Burley. Just a middle of the road Virginia with sugar on top.
If she likes it, I might use this when it's too cold to smoke outdoors. Otherwise I can't see any reason for this blend.

I will be a dissenter on this blend. I gave it a fair chance in five different pipes on five different days and I just didn?t care for it. The first third of the bowl was pleasant enough but it became increasingly harsh and bit me towards the bottom of the bowls. I may not a fan of Latakia or Perique in large doses and it was perhaps these tobaccos that swayed me negatively but I?m not saying this blend contains an over abundance of these tobaccos. Maybe it?s just me but Revelation fell short of what I expected based on previous reviews. As concerns HOW blends and the five I?ve tried, I much prefer Country Doctor and Union Leader.
