I began smoking this shortly after finishing a couple of ounces of Stokkebye?s English Luxury, a blend I think very highly of, and thus the Proper English found itself living in its brother?s shadow. Not nearly as smooth and tasty as English Luxury, Proper English also has much more of a tendency to bite. A perfectly fine bulk option, but there are many superior bulk English blends, even within the Stokkebye line, so I?m not going to rush out and stock up on Proper English. In many ways, this blend reminded me of Paul Olsen?s My Own Blend 7000 and of Butera?s Pelican, which are very nice blends but also have a tendency to bite.

I smoke this when out of the good stuff. Considering the price, it is at least three stars. If you smoke a lot of this in one sitting the value aspect wears a bit thin. Very good blend when smoked occasionally, downgrade to two stars if you smoke it too many times in one day!

I ordered this on the recommendation of a knowledgeable friend. I have been smoking quite of bit of Renaissance lately and there is quite of bit of similarity between these two. Proper English is perhaps a little less strong and does not have the complexity of Renaissance, but is a good alternative if price is a consideration. I believe I paid $24 for a pound of Proper English whereas Renaissance is far more. I certainly have smoked quite a few English mixtures that were not as good and cost far more.
Proper English is good, but not great.

I didn't like this one as much as the luxury English because nothing really stood out to me as far as English blends go. I suppose that is what's good about it, it's a standard "proper" English, the name is quite fitting. Something I will usually grab an ounce or two to smoke with my two feet on the ground and not ponder which leaf is where in the smoke (I'm not good at putting that into words anyway) Just a good ole trusty English.

Bulk English blends that's been around for decades. A rich, cool, and sweet smoke. Smokey Latakia that is creamy, floral, spicy, a bit musty. Virginias shine through with sweetness, orientals provide sour notes. All of it plays out in a nice interlude. A good quality bulk English that's heavy on the Latakia.

Ok so full disclosure I am not a huge fan of latakia but I'm trying to get into it. I feel as much as many like it perhaps I am missing out.
As for this blend all I taste is latakia, its overpowering. I could smell it as soon as I picked up the box it was mailed in.

This pungent, delicous baccy is the perfect antidote to EMPs 'bite' (for me, at least), as I mix it 50:50, the strength of EMP counters the mildness too, for a very flavourful puff!
The delectable pungency of the baccy is simply adorable!
And it smokes well too. If you like a very flavourful English blend, get a nosebag full of this - you won't be disappointed.
Along with a goodly supply of EMP, I'd definitely take this one to my desert island - and that would cover my 'English' blend!

There are so-called one-dimensional tobaccos one might enjoy, but Stokkebye's Proper English approaches un-dimentionality, contrary to the expectation one gets from reading some of the other reviews here. One is amid much smoke, nearly all of which is tasteless, a warm, dry nothingness.

For the price this may be good, but there are so many full English blends out there that are better balanced in terms of flavor I cannot see my self buying more of this. I would rather spend the extra money on a tin of GLP Odyssey and get something that actually has complexity to it.
The latakia simply overwhelms all the other flavors so that after the initial light (when I can detect the fine perfumed Orientals) all I taste is salt and leather. Smoked in the evening, I can taste this the next day until noon even with 3 teeth brushings in the mean time. Not my cup of tea.
Bump this up one star if you like lat-bombs and you are on a real tight budget.
