The burley is a little toasty and nutty sweet. The sweetened black cavendish is mildly vanilla-like. The perique is a minor player, offering just a little plum and pepper as a supporting player. The Cyprian latakia is smoky sweet, and a little woody far in the background. The coconut topping is not unpleasant, but it doesn't contrast well with the tobaccos. Has a mild nic-hit. Burns a little fast and a little warm, but doesn't get harsh, and won't bite. The topping diminishes a little toward the finish, but it's still noticeable. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and needs few relights. Has a decent after taste. Can be an all day smoke.

Craig starks blend is ok for a latakia blend,but the wife gives me the look as in go outside till your done. The coconut that is in the blend I seem to not to detect it so im not very impressed with it. So in other hand Ill just use this in my mixer blends.

Not my cup of tea.... Might have benifited from some aging? Not sure- But the flavor was there in a mild way- But there is a secondary flavor- not coconut- but a chemically taste that i am sure was a a part of the flavoring- and it tainted the rest of the smoke for me. Maybe I'm sensitive....I like C&D blends. Try it and see....Good quality leaf though...
