A mild & smooth English blend. A little too mild for my taste. A very solid 2 stars.

Well, I'm not sure what "Royal Standard" is, but the other four are definitely there. A variety of leaves, fully rubbed out and easily packed. Takes fire readily without drying and stays lit well; my longest between matches is 75 minutes in a medium bowled pipe. No gurgle or steam.
The condiments are first noted, particularly the perique. Slowly the others become evident with the latakia remaining in the background. Mid bowl is the best with all in play and in balance, though perique is not my thing. This is a spicy mild english with no trace of sweetness despite the VAs. The final fraction is a bit too peppery for my taste. Burley dislikers will best pass on this one.
Its mildness has its merits for those who like their smokes that way (I do). Yet I somehow want "more" out of it, which I can get with a bigger bowl. Then the perique annoys me. For mild english blends from P&W, and I DO like P&Ws, I prefer the Wilke #10, sort of a lighter version of Dunhill's EMP. I'm not sure what I could compare this one to. Certainly one worth trying, but there are others I prefer.
