A legendary Wilke mixture of Tennessee burley, Latakia, perique, Virginia and Royal Scot mixture. Smooth smoking and a beautiful aroma. No wonder it's nickname is Wilke's Magic 13! A great choice for a light to medium English.

I bought four ounces of this on a recommendation. Out of the four ounces I'd say I smoked about one ounce of it. The rest I will give away.
The appearance is very diverse with a little bit of everything in here. The smell from the tin is a cinnamon-like scent, almost like insense. The cut is shag/ribbon so packing is easy. The burn rate is slow and even.
Once lit, this tobacco has a very light English taste yet the casing starts to overpower everything else and it turns a bit sour after the first third of the bowl. As it gets down the howl it becomes quite unfriendly as it starts smoking hot and wet. The taste/smell starts to resemble a cheap after shave I've smelled before. It reminds me of that "old man smell" I remember from visiting my uncle in a nursing home. For the rest of the smoke it is strictly burning casing, tasting sour, hot and wet. The last few bowls of this I was not able to get past the first half of the bowl because it was so bad.
