I don't know why it has so few reviews. Perhaps is not well known, or is not found in all tabacco stores? Anyway, as a latakia lover, I was recommended by my trusty tobacconist: "Give me something with lots of latakia" I said. And indeed, this is Comoy's English Mixture.

The latakia, as I said, predominates in the tin, as well as during the smoke. When I am at the middle of the bowl, I start to notice that oily texture in my mouth, something that I really love fron latakias.

In my opinion, in the tin, chocolate notes and a subtle floral background are also detected.

I must confess that my love for this blend was not "love at first sight", since it takes me a couple of bowls to like it. But now I would say that it's one of those I want to be allways present in my cellar. An all day blend.

To finish, I want to say that I acquired it in pouch, and the level of moisture was perfect for smoking straight from it.

A very tasty all day smoke that has a rich yet woody and earthy taste. The blend of tobacco, virginia, turkish and latakia is superb!

I ventured out to try stronger tobaccos and this was the first one I bought. However, I discovered it wasn't too strong or too weak, it was just right. It burns cool and long, meaning it's a fantastic tobacco to sit back and relax with on a long summer evening. But, as the nights are drawing in and it becomes colder, I've found that it's also a very cosy smoke, enjoyable in front of the hearth.

Definitely another one of my favourite tobaccos, which I highly recommend.

This is a simple and enjoyable English blend with a tasty interplay of each of the component parts. I wouldn't describe it as complex, but it is rewarding if your preference is for latakia blends. Similar in some ways to Rattray's Accounts or Professional Mixtures, and with no bite or nicotine hit.

Burns easily with few if any relights, and a consistent flavour. An impressive and high quality tobacco which will suit those who enjoy latakia but don't want to be overwhelmed by it. It is very much a part but is supported in its woodsy, creaminess by sweet virginias and spicy orientals. I would recommend it above the Dunhills or Peterson lat offerings because it is not harsh, ashy or too virginia heavy. I would also place it above Commonwealth Mixture due to the constant oriental presence. Whatever the blend proportions it is well balanced.

This is a high end product , it screams quality from start to finish. It's very difficult to pick fault here. It's perhaps in need of the smallest amount of drying time .ten minutes max. Where as davidoff , standard mixture, are ready to be smoked immediately from the tin. Other than that it holds its place amongst the very finest available smokes there is anywhere
