Hmm, I really wanted to like this..after all it is the YPSC blend.. No question, an all quality tobacco with great burning characteristics and a nice medium strength. But it doesn't do it for me. When I finish a bowl, I immediately search for a nice VA flake to get square with myself. So is life...

This blend reminds me a little of Dunhills Elizabeth mix. If you like the dunhill blend. Give this a try. Its not an exact match, but there are similar elements. I may get more sometime.

There is much to like about this blend:
Easy to pack. Excellent burning characteristics (lighting, clean, pure ash, cool, dry). Huge volumes of smoke with little drawing effort. Purity of ingredients and rounded flavor (lightly sweet with a touch of a cigar note; and that perique-something; no casing or top dressing). Fair to middling quantity of perique (what I was looking for).
This reminds me a little bit of Bayou Morning Flake, just less sweet and easier on the perique component. A solid morning to evening smoke when you are not in the mood to tangle with VA heat, and your looking for less perique than many of the more popular VA/perique blends. It is perhaps a bit grassy.
Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Kranz have taken the place BP held in my rotation. I like this better than Telegraph Hill (similar in weight, though different styles).
Two stars without prejudice.
