Slow burning and flavorful. Made of rich cube cut Kentucky burley and a light dash of Syrian latakia. Smooth and definitely mild.

I got such bad tongue bite from this (and I don't get that from too many tobaccos) that I couldn't go back to it after smoking a couple of bowls. From the description, I hoped it would be like C&D's Canal Boat (Constipated Cockroach!), but nah, wasn't happening. I have a lot left, sitting in the garage, and will smoke some more if I dare, otherwise there it will remain as a special reserve for the end times, or something. The flavor was not at all bad, and as I understand it, tongue bite can be a highly personal reaction sometimes. In retrospect, I should maybe have been wary of a blend described as "mild and mellow..."
I will revise my opinion if I can get up the courage to try another bowl. As I said, the flavor was pretty good, so if it doesn't bite you, go for it!
6-14-11 I jarred this up when I realized any blend with Syrian Latakia is kinda rare these days! I'll give it another try sometime.

This blend is the most mild smokers haven blend I have tried. It has a lot going for it, and might be the ultimate "bridge" tobacco to an unindoctrinated English smoker. It has a very high quality burly. It provides a modest base and allows for excellent combustibility. Something a newer English smoker will appreciate. The burly is likely air cured and has no evidence of being cased. The kicker in this blend is the dash of Syrian Latakia. It is excellent although sparse. The smokiness is most evident about half way down and never could be confused for being adequate. Think milder than Dunhill Early Morning Pipe for Latakia content. There is also no Oriental tobacco to make things interesting. While the tobacco quality is top notch, this blend is too mild to make my "favorites" list.
