Coconut? Latakia? I tasted only whisps (I think), of both. Mostly my cheek and gums cried for more strength and flavor. Light and almost "Vanilla" in tast presentation, this one was certainly of good quality but not my cup of tea.
Aromatic fans may like this one as well as those who prefer laid back flavor and strength.

This is quite an interesting change of pace for those who enjoy english blends. I recieved a sample with my recent order from C&D and smoked this in a cob to sample it. It is, as with every C&D blend, blended with the highest quality leaf. The "coconut topping" was VERY strong in the pouch, but is more refined while smoking it, and I could taste the coconut while smoking this blend. The only thing is, it does burn a little on the hot side, even with gentle puffing. And, as for the room note, my partner could not place a finger on what it smelled like to him, so I may be updating the review on that topic at a later date. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed smoking this blend, it took me a little while to get used to tasting both Latakia and Coconut at the same time, but all in all a top quality blend. Recommended!!
