I was sent all of the Ashton "Type" blends by a friend in England that I swap tobacco with. This was several years ago and according to my own log notes, this was absolutely delicious. The blend tasted a little like fully matured Lemon Virginia peeking through the heavier tasting Latakia from time to time. Never rough and smooth as silk. I loved it!

A sweetend english. The citrus/orange flavor enhances rather than conceals the tobacco. Is a bit on the strong side and does bite if you over do it! If you relish it, it will treat you nice.

So far, every one of the Ashton numbered blends that I have smoked have turned out great. This one is probably the best of the lot. The tin aroma is that of an aromatic - I guess it comes from the orange flavor. The taste is very mild; you hardly notice the aromatic topping, or the Latakia, which makes it one blend that is perfect for large pipes or for smoking all day long. I'm smoking it in a large, barely broken in Sasieni, and it's smoking great from the first light.
Izzy da Moyl gives it 9 circumcised schlongs out of 10; the 1 missing shlong is for a slightly annoying sweet taste (Virginias? Cavendish?) that da Moyl doesn't like because he doesn't want to smoke his yiddishe mama's carrot tzimmes in his pipe :).
I just hope there is some more of this in town; I bought my nearest dealer's last tin. Just one caveat - the tin I bought is marked "Made in England" rather than "Made in EC" as is the case with newer Ashton 1-6 production (now manufactured by Kohlhase and Kopp). I don't know what the K and K Ashton 2 tastes like; I'll try to find some and report back.
