Another slight disappointment from the Ashton line... This tobacco is sold only in Europe, but you US friends aren't missing anything. It is a light english mixture with a delicate orange flavoring which is more detectable in tin aroma (and not much, anyway) than in taste. While packing and smoking qualities are fine (maybe a hint of wetness more than I like to find, and a larger cut than usual), the taste is too bland for my taste. Think of something like Celebrated Sovereign, but without its smokier overtones and sweeter. I smoked a tin in two weeks, and it was even pleasant at times, but I haven't found it memorable. I doubt I will smoke it again, but if you live in Europe and want to try a lighter EM with hints of sweetness and of orange aroma there are not many alternatives.
