This is my first experience with C&D blends and this is certainly a great way to start!! A previous reviewer suggested trying this if you like Revelation among others, and Revelation being my all time favorite, I thought I would give this a try. While I do not think it resembles Revelation, this is one fantastic, mild english smoke. I say mild english because the Latakia shows itself all the way through the smoke,but not heavily at all. I would definitely smoke this all day without hesitation. Smokes cool with NO bite,very pleasant room note,my partner says it is very mild and not heavy in the air, so I would say this would not offend the larger groups.(If you can get one these days that won't complain about smoking around them!) The flavor is fantastic all the way to the very bottom of the bowl, smoking dry with no gurgle every time. I have smoked this in several pipes ranging from a Group 3 size to an ODA and each time the same result...FANTASTIC!!...4 stars..HIGHLY recommended!!!!

HFTH is another great blend from C&D. It is listed under English blends at the C&D web site but it is certainly not a full or bold English blend. I would classify HFTH as an American English blend that, to me, means a LIGHT or even very light English blend. In other words, the burley or burley/VA is center stage with the Latakia in the wings. Then again, some folks would simply call this a burley blend. HFTH is reminiscent of many drug store blends that one could readily have found on store shelves in decades past.
HFTH has an enjoyable nutty sweetness and smoky flavor. It also has good burning qualities and smokes cool with no bite. The burley and VA tobaccos mingle nicely with the subtle notes of Latakia in the background. The perique was much less noticeable to my palate. Yes, this is definitely an American English blend that would be an ideal all day smoke. If you like Revelation, Barking Dog, Junkyard Dawg, Easy Times and/or Bailey?s Front Porch, you will probably enjoy HFTH.
If you dislike the cut of the leaf as bigblends below me noted, you can use a double-canister, hand cranked nut chopper. Run the tobacco through the chopper once for a finer cut. It takes about 30 - 60 seconds. If you are interested in purchasing a nut chopper, just ?froogle,? not google, for the words ?nut chopper.? Most are under $10.
A cigarette is to be smoked. A cigar is to be enjoyed. A pipe is to be savored.
I rate this tobacco 9.5 out of 10.

The above reviewer has spoken well. I would add that the Perique comes through as a chocolate underpinning as the bowl is smoked.
I too find this a remarkably complex, slow burnning blend, with each tobacco type showing itself throughout.
A must try for the full bodied pipester.

Thanks to the powers that be for adding this blend for review. I really love this blend. It has the nuttiness of cubed burley and the silky smoothness of latakia. I do not notice the impact of the virginia and the perique but I'm sure they effect it in their subtle ways. I smoke bowl after bowl of this while on the computer, reading, or any other hunkered down activity. I never cared too much for latakia until I tried this blend, and now believe it is the various oriental tobaccos that do not agree with me. I have tried Crowley's Favorite and prefer this for it seems less complex and for me that is more relaxing. I hope other's familure with english blends give this a try and write your reviews for I'd like to try other blends simular to this. Very tasty with no bite or bitterness top drawer!
