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."

I absolutely love this blend. Like others have stated this blend is hard to get in the States. However if you get it you will be intrigued as this isn’t your ordinary English blend. A lot of websites don’t list this but I have found out what I haven’t been able to put my finger on. This blend also contains dark fired Kentucky. This blend starts off sweet on the start and slowly starts to pack a punch. Especially if you retrohale. If you find it I highly recommend it. Again though, THIS BLEND CONTAINS KENTUCKY.

Presentation: Unabashedly simple "paint can" tin. I like it though.
Cut: Thick ribbon cut. Moisture level is just fine if not a touch on the moist side.
Tin note: Smoky and a slight fruity sweetness. I can't identify too many notes but overall it smells very rich and smooth. Enchanting.
Tasting notes: On the draw there is a nice sweetness -- almost creamy. Followed by a slightly smoky, woody note on the finish. Slight spice comes and goes but this not a "spicy" blend. An earthy note will come alive as the bowl progresses. There is an underlying grassy note throughout the bowl. The sweetness will make way for slightly more smoky flavor as the bowl progresses.
Mechanics: Blend smokes well. Don't smoke too fast, don't smoke too slow. Once you can walk that tightrope, this blend will be very enjoyable.
Extra Remarks: Peter Heinrich's No. 30, 39, and 169 are all similar in my head. But of those 3 English blends, 169 is my favorite. I can't explain why but this blend gave me more than the others and now is my second favorite Heinrich blend behind Dark Strong Flake. Very well done, 4 stars.
