The Smoker Easy Chair
(2.83)
A bright red Virginia with a good amount of Cyprian Latakia blended with a mixture of Turkish, fire cured Virginia and perique. Good later in the day and evening smoke.

The Virginias are grassy and citrus sweet as the base of the blend. The Cyprian latakia is smokey sweet, and lightly woody. The latakia is perhaps the star flavor, but it never drowns out the other tobaccos. The Oriental/Turkish is woody and smokey, and is just a little more than a background player. The perique is more pepper than plum, and though it's a minor component, you'll consistently notice it. Has a mild nic-hit. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns cool an clean at a reasonable pace with a consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and needs an average number of relights. Has a pleasant after taste. It's a typical English and though it's enjoyable enough, it does nothing to distinguish itself from other mixtures in this genre. Not quite an all day smoke.

I have always appreciated the strength (backbone) of Mel Feldman's blends and while Easy Chair sounds laid back enough, it is actually another fairly stout Smoker blend.
One of the previous reviewers indicated his tongue failed to find any Perique. Perhaps Mel forgot to slip some into a batch or two, but it sure found its way into my tin. Traditional English with some power and a little pepper from the Perique pretty much sums up Easy Chair.
My tin was about five years old and I am not sure whether this blend is even produced by Mr. Feldman anymore due to the Cyprian Latakia shortage.
