For those who like quasi-aromatic English blends or who are just starting to experiment with latakia, I would recommend this in a heartbeat. Like most Gatlin-Burlier products, it poses little danger of biting your tongue and has better-than-average burning characeristics. This is a blend that requires numerous bowls to appreciate, as I've found that it has a lot of complexity that doesn't reveal itself in a briar until you've thoroughly seasoned your pipe with it. For a long time, it was also my favorite blend when breaking in a briar exclusively for English tobaccos. It's nowhere near as strong as, say, Nightcap, but it builds a respectable cake in very little time.
This is basically a more powerful version of, say, Frog Morton.

This is the first tobacco I tried from Gatlinburlier... And I would like to say it was as good as I thought it would be! They obviously aren't the first ones to combine sweet and smokey flavors (bourbon, anyone?) but they deffinately innovated it into something else great. It packs well, smokes cool, and tastes great! If you are a dedicated english smoker, you may be put off by the fact it isn't extremely strong in the latakia department, but if you like aromatics as well, it is a fair comprimise between the latakia and toasted cavindish.
The room note is a bit between an english and an aromatic (as one would expect) but it makes for a nice social smoke. The latakia will not overpower those around you but you still get the satisfaction of that smokey kick.
My only reccomendation would be to step up the latakia a bit... But then you would sacrifice the sociability of the smoke.

I bought this in a 2oz. sample pouch at the Gatlin-Burlier about 3 or 4 years ago, tossed in in with the other samples I've accumulated and forgot about it till now. I needed a change from the usual and thought I would give this a try. What a suprise!! I smoked it all up in short order! This mixture is good. I don't know if it was the cellaring or what,but I reccomend you give this a try! I'm ordering more.

Great for the days when you want an English, but not one with such broad shoulders. This is a soft semisweet smoky smoke. GReat for all day, and especially for those quiet moments.

this is my favorite of the 4 gatlin-burlier blends i have tried( the others are cave's cove cavendish, frank's blend, and gatlin-burley). there is a bit of casing present that lends a slight sweetness, but not enough to put off dedicated english smokers, IMHO. the main flavor present is a mild burley, with latakia also noticeable. it lights and packs fairly easily, and burns down to a fine gray ash. the room note is pleasant, and one of the main reasons i keep some of this one around. it allows me to enjoy a good english smoke around sensitive noses. cumberland would be a good blend for aromatic smokers wanting to try an english blend, or for english smokers who want a blend they can smoke in the house. 3 stars.
