My tin of Cotton #1 was from the 1980s and the Latakia had really mellowed out to the point where the Orientals were on an even keel. I absolutely loved this weed. Complex, refined, deep and unrelenting in flavor presentation. This one is famous for a reason - it's mighty fine stuff!

I have never smoked the original John Cotton’s Mild so my only reference point is the new release. Each bowl starts off mild and slightly sweet. I like the combination of Virginias and Orientals in this blend. As each bowl progressed the Latakia becomes more prominent and there is some spiciness too. I found John Cotton’s Mild to have no bite at all. While the strength increases a bit toward the end of the bowl, the overall strength is on the mild side. I found this smoke to be very pleasant.

I have no idea what happened to the company, nor any idea why the blend is no lomger available. This was the one I always came back to for an "all day" smoke. It was "old reliable" for as long as I could get it, and I would smoke it still. The blend was listed as MILD, but that may have been a reference to the nicotine content, not the flavor. This was a medium bodied blend of red and gold virginias ith a good prportion of oriental leaf, and an ample quantity of latakia. My memory tells me there was no black cavendish in the blend, and also tells me that the latakia was Syrian. It burned readily, but not hot, with a lively smokey/spicy flavor. I cannot recall it ever getting hot, or wet, or in any other way unpleasant. Rumor has it that Butera's Latakia Blend (#1 or #2) is an attempt to recreate the blend. Must check this out.

a shame that my favourite in Pipe Tobacco has been lost, as i search for it's exact Replacement, i do hope to one Day find this. Westminster by Pease is spot on, and a top hole Pipe Tobacco. I must try any other Recomendations that Others may be so kind to suggest to this old Mann. Pax tecum, Gustav
