Dan Tobacco Evening Standard
(2.67)
Broad cut Virginia leaf and darker, heat fermented dark brown ready rubbed Virginia flake, rounded out with a goodly proportion of latakia. A full bodied but pleasantly smooth pipe mixture with a stout taste in the typical English vein. Slow burning with a nicely cool smoke.

Usually I don't like latakia mixtures made in Germany: light, acrid, unbalanced.
This one was a pleasant surprise, though. Sure, it's not perfect, and it doesn't have the rich complexity of my favourites (GL Pease, Squadron Leader, Skiff), but it's a really nice smoke if you want a medium English - style. IMHO it's better than all of Dunhill's current offerings in the same category...
What can I say except that's it's absolutely "Standard" as the name suggests? Don't be fooled by that "evening", though: this is lighter than Nightcap, Bill Bailey's Balkan or similar powerhouses. It's a good afternoon smoke.
Think Bill Bailey's Balkan light and you will have a rough idea. Or Timm 1000 with less finesse and more Orientals.
Though a bit unexciting, it's a blend that I do not regret buying at all.

Well,
This is not a lat bomb. This is a full english mixture on the oriental / spicy / earthy side. It's a well rounded, balanced mixture. There is a lot of dark leak. The smokiness is not overwhelming. Easy to pack and light you can reduce the bowl to ashes without any relight.
One of the best Dan Tobacco blends, if it's what you're looking for: a full english / balkan mixture on the sweet, spicy, smoky side.

This is a full latakia blend. While it is full and smoky, it is just not very good.
Bailey's Balkan & Red Virginia Superb are far better.
