I bought this stuff because it sounded intriguing. Latakia and coconut? In the tin, this stuff smells like an old Thermos that somebody had left milk in. The coconut topping tasted artificial, like sun tan lotion and was rather weird in combination with the Latakia. It made me rather nauseous the first time I smoked it. Made another attempt awhile later, and can't get behind this. Threw this in the trash. I do not recommend this.

I hate to be the lone dissenter, but this blend really did not grab me. I am confident that the tobacco in this blend was of good quality. The blend never got too hot, or clogged my pipe. I am just not a fan of whatever the topping they added and called coconut. The Latakia was muted and the Perique was minimal. What I think this blend is, is an aromatic blend with the addition of the traditional English tobaccos.
