Today I smoked my second bowl of this blend and I find it to be an enjoyable smoke. If it had just a bit more Latakia to it, it could really be on my list of favorites. Of course this is easily remedied with the addition of some more Latakia, and I believe this blend could readily be used as a base for something very nice.
The flavor is, well... soft Burley with just a hint of Latakia. It is a mild smoke as far as I'm concerned, but seems overly moist and needs some drying before smoking, as it does tend to bite a little if not smoked carefully. It's the only tobacco in my current rotation that can produce pipe gurgle, and does have some trouble staying lit, especially towards the bottom of the bowl, where it seems to become quite damp. This blend smokes fairly cool throughout most of the bowl (again I feel the moisture at the bottom of the bowl causes a bit of harshness), burnes to a fine white ash, and has (to me) a pleasent room note.
Okay, as I've described above, this is not, in it's present incarnation, anything really special, just a good unobtrusive choice for an all day smoke. If I were a smoker of aromatics, this might be my non-aro eqivilent of 1Q. It will certainly have a place in my cellar for that reason, as well as use as a base for blending.
I hope this helps.

The guys at the shop say this is everyone's favorite. However, I must not be everyone because I didn't like it very well and I gave it the whole 2oz before I made my mind up. It is what the description above says but I would leave out "top-noted".

Somewhat recommended, IF and that's a big IF you love aromatics. This one is supposed to be heaven for aromatic smokers. For me, it's vanilla-flavored tobacco and I can't tell much else. Yeah, the latakia and burleys are there, but that cloying, annoying vanilla is just too much for me. Yuck. Maybe I should just accept that I don't like aromatics finally. I think I must. Ah well.
