Barclay-Rex Maiden Lane Blend
(3.27)
For that after-dinner smoke — a mixture of Turkish, Virginia, Burley, Latakia and Perique. A truly British blend, created by Mr Nastri to please the discriminating smoker who wants that extra spicy taste.

An American Latakia mixture where the Burley drives the show. The topping could be smelled before lighting and tasted after. Not great but not that bad, an average house blend. It did turn bitter after and I blame this on the topping when I started to puff faster. It was the search for more flavor you see.

Well, my mother often reminded me: "to each, his own". I've lived by those words for over six decades. That's what I attribute to MLB and the admiration of many. I received a 2 oz bag ( gratis ) from an ebay seller, when I purchased a pipe, to which I am grateful too. I've smoked it on several occasions but it doesn't "float my boat" nor leave a pleasant/tolerable after taste either. I realize my body's chemistry is the cause. None the less, I'll pass what's left along. I'm not a big fan of Burley, nor Perique either. Some blends I've become fond of recently incorporate both. This blend ( to me ) reeks of Burley. To those who like it fine.
