Paul Olsen No. 7000
(3.21)
Based on a blend over 103 years old, #7000 contains a very generous portion of top quality latakia with some of the finest Orientals. Then finished off with a black cavendish and Turkish Samsun for a full-bodied traditional English.

I am not sure whether this is still available or not, but I am throwing in my two cents as much for my own future reference as anything else. My tin is 7-9 years old, and has been opened for that long. It is a nice high quality tobacco. I gave it only two stars, however, because it is a little bitey, and there are many, many similar english style blends which are just plain better.
It looks and smells in the tin like a typical english blend. It packs nicely, and burns readily. The flavor is mostly of latakia, but the orientals do add some nice undertones. As stated above, my experience is that it has a bite to it that is present throughout the bowl. The strange thing is that it does not seem to burn particularly hot, but it still bites a little. Maybe my palate is just off on this one. While there is nothing wrong with this, I think there are any number of english blends (look to England, young man) that offer more flavor and complexity without that funky bite.

This is a full strength English mixture that is quite bold in the nose and pallet. As the description above states, this blend is comprised of high quality, exotic tobaccos that form the backbone of the English oriental blends. Cavendish is a wonderful component that lends extra complexity to this smoke. The samsum adds alot of spice and depth as well. This is a quality Oriental mixture but, there are many others that I prefer to this blend. Maybe if they sold a bulk version, I would keep it on hand.
