This review was taken from a sealed knife lid tin 40+ years old.
The tin aroma is grassy and slightly sweet, reminding me of RRR.
Started off more like a well aged Virginia/Burley mixture (slightly sweet and peppery/spicy) than an Oriental/English Mixture, slowly developing a tanginess as the Orientals were drawn out.
A third of the way down, the flavor becomes more spicy and peppery, with the spiciness taking center stage around mid bowl and the sweetness of the Virginias becoming a background note.
Past the half way point, the flavor deepens and the spiciness intensifies as the sweetness all but disappears.
Nearing the bottom of the bowl, wine like characteristics become evident as the smoke turns thick, chewy and slightly sweet.
Overall a very good (but not outstanding) Oriental mixture, with no hint of Latakia smokiness. It stays cool and without the tartness sometimes associated with Oriental mixtures. The aroma was musty, malty with a hint of spiciness farther down the bowl.
