Peter Heinrichs No. 39
(3.50)
Tin description, "A strong blend in the English tradition of a high portion of smoky Latakia, full-bodied Black Cavendish, sweetish Virginia and a pinch of spicy Perique, which flatters the palate with its unadulterated, balanced aroma."
Notes: Old description, "A mixture of finest English type, mixed in old copper drums. The best tobaccos of the world, red Kentucky, Virginia, Turkish, Carolina Black and Syrian Latakia give this natural English mixture a mild to medium taste volume."

Presentation: Unabashedly simple. Something about it draws me to it. And of course it comes in the "paint can" like tin.
Cut: Standard ribbon cut. Moisture is a touch above "just right" out of the tin.
Tin note: Leathery Raisins? I'm not too good with my nose but I think that's what I smell.
Tasting notes: Bowl starts off with the signature Red Virginia sweetness as the main note with the latakia and the periquey spice evenly balanced, battling for 2nd. As the bowl progresses, the Virginia note will subtly swap with the other two. Delicious and beautifully balanced blend.
Mechanics: A bit harder to light than your standard blend, make sure to light the edges for a nice full draw. This blend will require a faster cadence than normal.
Extra Remarks: With this style of tin, it does close (very securely too) but I find I have to use my pipe tool to pry open the tin. This is a minor annoyance. Overall a very good blend. 3 stars.

At first: This is the "John Aylesbury Finest British"-Blend. Both made by K&K, both the EXACT same description. I wonder if there are more exact copies of this, who else is K&K producing for?
Now the review: This is my first real "English"-Blend. I tried and loved Latakia blends (SG Choco Flake; Bill Baileys Best Blend) before, even (almost) pure Latakia Flakes (P.H: Lat. Flake). But this one only carries a rather subtle amount of Latakia (at least in the taste, the tin smell is dominated by latakia imo). You can clearly taste it - but it won't overwhelm you and the other components arent drowned by its unique taste. So I'd guess this ones also for Latakia-Beginners, too.
The excellent Latakia taste is enriched and accompanied by a light sweetness, a nice floral note and maybe a whiff of Kentucky taste to be noticed. All is (like said before) very well married and makes it hard to differentiate the components.
One thing to notice is, that this a a very mild blend and the strenght isnt somewhat close to something you'd expect from a English-Blend. Not too light imho, but pleasantly mild.
It burns very good and is easy to light. Nothing too complex, but surely nothing flat in terms of taste. A fine blend you can enjoy while being distracted doing sth. different, due to its simple - but characterful and rich taste.
