2016 Update: Apparently, this blend has gone the way of the dodo. Fortunately, I have a tin that I bought nine years ago, and it's truly remarkable. I won't bother to bore you with details on a blend that you can't find, other than say it has aged remarkably well, and I kick myself for not buying a dozen tins when it was available. Sic transit gloria mundi. For some reason, this blend is unheralded and, IMHO, underrated. It is well-balanced, with a constant, but subdued, Latakia presence that plays off the VA and Oriental tobaccos perfectly. A bit of Perique gives this blend a nice taste. It burns well and smokes smoothly. A surprisingly good all-day smoke. If you enjoy English blends, this product is worthy of your attention.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! This Syrian Latakia/Perique blend rang my bell. Few such combinations normally do. The no longer produced Syrian Latakia here is superb with a rich, dark and very smoky presentation. The Perique only whispers its presence from time to time, and the added Orientals provide a tickle of spice - how nice!

This is an OK English blend. It really does remind me of CAO's Midnight Ride. The main difference being this one is slightly amped up in the Perique department. A good medium mixture that can be enjoyed before a meal. for some reason it did not "ROCK MY WORLD" but it did not destroy it either.It burns well and smells good. I would definitely give it a whirl. 3 solid stars.

This one was a surprise!
Appearance and Tin Aroma: Fine ribbon cut of a mixture of browns, yellows, and of course, black leaf. Smells of a rich oriental component, with a slight duskiness from the latakia.
Packing and Lighting: Very easy with mousture not an issue. 2-3 lights max.
Initial Flavor: This is an English, but tilted to the orientals. Reminds me of CAO's Midnight Ride. Heck!, it probably is...
Mid-Bowl: Delicious! Plenty of flavor, the interplay of the leaves is perfect.
Bottom of Bowl: an ever so slight build up of strength and flavor and, before you know it, you are done.
Overall: This is a solid, delightful, flavorful, English blend that is tilted toward the oriental leaf. The Perique is applied gently and is noticed as a nice light spicy kick at the end of bowl. It is reasonably priced as well, about US $9.50 a tin in Southern California. I will definitely add more tins of this to my rotation! Enjoy...
