The tin reads "3 2008," and I can't tell if this is a dog or a frog. I'm guessing McC couldn't shelf a name as marketably pipe-worthy as "Fox Hound," so they cased some leaf in the great vanilla equalizer and re-released.
Very similar to Nat Sherman's City Island Dawn (and to the new My Mixture 965 for that matter), and a smokeable addition to that genre, but equally derivative and redundant. I'm no expert, but it's obvious even to me that this is not the Hound the rest of you have written about. How the folks who created my beloved Frog can feel good about this is beyond me.
I guess what bugs me is that, for those of us trying very hard to learn the ABCs, and maybe one day display some aficion, with regard to the blender's Art, cased leaf that bills itself as a "Virginia/Latakia/Oriental," using the name of a blend I will never actually smoke...it's just damn frustrating...my apologies to all. jm

I was disappointed with this blend from the start. Maybe it is just too mild for my taste, but there was very little taste. Every once in a while I would catch a whiff that was pleasant, overall it was forgettable. I do want to add, that I have met Mr. Nording, and he is a great guy. I also love his pipes.

The fine Latakia and Oriental tobaccos do make this a mild English style blend. A very smooth smoke with an aroma that had no negative comments.
This could be an "all day'r" for those who favour the lite English blends.
Similar to Lanes HGL or Straus' 88 but without the cavendish.
A nice clean tobacco.
