This is a good example of an English-American hybrid. I could easily picture men 50 years ago smoking this stuff all day long and never growing tired of it. It can bite a little if you're not careful, but otherwise this is a great blend to relax to. Beware, though, as this blend definitely contains nicotine.
There are other examples of this genre which I personally enjoy more -- such as Morley's Best, Gatlin-Burley and Epiphany -- but there's absolutely nothing wrong with this. There's just nothing particularly outstanding.

This is a very basic English mixture. The absence of Turkish tobacco hinders what could be a good blend. It is, for the most part, bland. It's only saving point is that it contains enough Perique to salvage this mediocre mixtue. With that said, it is not a horrid experience, but certainly not noteworthy either.

I never had much love of Burley, and perhaps I shouldn?t be rating these blends at all. It is conceivable I had an overload years ago when I smoked ?Barking Dog? & ?Mild and Mellow? fairly regularly. While this one may very well be one of the better Burley blends, it was just too average for me to rate highly. I have had, and think you will find, much better from Pease etc.

As a lover of American English blends, I should love Home from the Hills. It is easily the most aesthetically appealing tobacco I've ever beheld: a classic rough cut blend of burleys (some cubed), Virginia, latakia, and perique, it ranges in color from pale blond to black. It smells wonderful and packs easily. On lighting up, the perique dominates along with the burley, but the latakia emerges now and then and the Virginia keeps it from being too heavy a blend. One could puff on this all day.
However, I found it a bitch to keep lit and somewhat bitey. You perhaps will find neither of these problems. If you like Revelation, you will probably love HFTH.

This stuff is pretty good. The flavor profile is very nice, and you get a balanced smoke. The leathery, woody, earthy, and flinty notes you might expect from the Latakia are often lost in the shadow of what comes across as savory baking spices. Very interesting.
I greatly dislike the cut of the leaf. It's too big and too random. I'm happy to whack up a plug or trim up some flake, but to have to take blades to a ready-rubbed mixture is a pain in the ass. I'd almost -- ALMOST -- be able to overlook this if the belnd had more body to it.
While I don't think this will become a part of my regular rotation or cellar, I still think it provides enough interest to give it a chance.
