Wessex - Tradition.
A mid sized ribbon, equal parts black, brown and medium brown, of a good moistness, and free from twiggy pieces. Personally I like the unlit aroma.
This isn't a Lat-Bomb, it's a more rounded smoke than that. The Latakia and Virginia form the support for the Turkish tobacco, with rich, smoky wood and grassy notes. The Turkish has a slightly floral/fragrant character to it, and is easily the leading flavour. The burn from Tradition's a good one, slow and medium temperature, and I get no tongue bite.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: pleasant.
Tradition? A good quality blend, but subjectively speaking I'd rather there be more Latakia in it. Somewhat recommended:
Two stars.

Well, the best I can say about this is it's not bad. I guess there's a nice taste of Latakia, but the Virginias seem kind of flat.
Yet the worst I can say about it is that it isn't great. This is a bit rough around the edges. It's fairly straightforward. It's unlikely to get any reaction, good or bad, from anyone who smokes it.
The tobacco burns fast, and burns hot. It isn't very good. And it doesn't suck.
