Cumberland is another great blend from the Gatlin-Burlier! A mix of Burley, Cavendish, and Latakia in a harmonious balance that smokes smooth, cool, and dry. The Cavendish smooths out the boldness of the Burley and the Latakia adds smoothness and broadens the taste spectrum. With Cumberland you get the best of three types of tobaccos with a complementary flavor balance where one component overcomes the weak points of the other components. The end result is a rich, smoky and somewhat sweet smoke. Cumberland has depth and complexity; one can discern the slight sweetness of the Cavendish, the smooth smokiness of the Latakia and the bold backbone of the Burley. This tobacco is hard to put down once you have a bowl going. I smoked it in a Captain Black billiard made by Orlik.

My first review posted on this site is done on a high note. When I first tried smoking a pipe about two-and-a-half years ago, the mere smell of English-style blends put me off. With a different attitude, though, I find this a very enjoyable blend. It packs easily, smokes clean, and doesn't bite the tongue too much (being a recovering cigarette smoker, I smoke a bit faster than I should). I smoke outside almost exclusively, and the smell doesn't put off the people around me. The taste is good and smoky, which, I believe, is due to the Latakia content, but not so strong it punishes me for inhaling. This may not be the elusive "perfect blend," but it's one I'll keep on hand for a while.

Cumberland is my favorite english blend that I have tried so far. It is a light english with a very nice taste. Lights great and stays lit with no tounge bite at all. I like to puff a little fast and really appreciate a blend that won't bite me. I have tried several of Gatlinburlier's blends and have liked every one, all of which will not give you tounge bite. I love the smell of this blend but your wives or ladyfriends probably won't share your enthusiasm. If your ever in Gatlinburg, Tenn. I highly suggest you give their shop a visit. A darn good smoke.
