Peter Heinrichs No. 169
(3.00)
This well-balanced, medium-strong mixture in typical English tradition consist of a good portion of spicy-smoky Latakia, sweetish Virginia, full-bodied Black Cavendish and strong Kentucky and gives a rich smoking pleasure for connoisseurs.
Notes: Old description: "A fine English mixture from very broad Virginia in the 3 mm cut, torn leaf, hand-graded. Full bodied but light on the tongue, with broad cut Virginia, Oriental and selected Syrian and Cyprian Latakia."

The smoky, woody, lightly sweet/wine-like and dry Syrian and Cyprian latakias are the star components, with the Cyprian taking a little of the lead. The grassy, citrusy Virginia forms the base of the blend. The mildly floral, woody, lightly buttery sweet and sour Oriental is a shade over being a mild addition. The nic-hit is a step over the mild threshold. The description claims this is full bodied, but I would say it's not quite that - close, but not quite. No lat-bomb for sure. No chance of bite or harshness. Burns at a moderate pace, cool, clean, smooth and even with a very consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasing after taste. Is almost an all day English blend. Two and a half stars.

This is very mild for an English blend. The latakia here is more subtle than I would prefer from the genre. The nic hit feels almost non-existent to me, as someone who prefers heavier blends. That being said, the tobacco leaves are good quality, and it's a good choice for those who want to enjoy an English blend but dislike intense latakia.
2.5/4 based on my preference, but others may enjoy this a lot more than I did.
