This is a smooth and delicious blend with a classic, fine English taste. Pouch aroma is extremely pleasant, if you like the smell of English blends. Close to a full strength tobacco, but not overpowering at all. This tobacco blend is very well balanced, so that the latakia and Turkish are distinguishable but not dominant. The flavor can diminish when it burns too hot, or when you reach the bottom of the bowl. Burns well. My favorite English blend because of balance, flavor and aroma.

This Blend have many good evaluations,
But for me, it not have neither special caracther...
Flat, only Orientals are noted, Virginia and Latakia disappeared completely.
Very common "English Mixture", similar to a good cigarrete tobacco.
2 stars, but only because it have s good taste when lighted,and a residual good taste in the mouth, after smoking. Without this it would be only 1 Star.

I ordered this blend on the recommendation of a friend. He was not wrong!! This is a wonderful mixture using Yenidge. Too bad there are not more blends using this unique tobacco. Carol does an outstanding job on this blend. This was the first blend I tried from Pipeworks & Wilke.
No. 524 burns well and does not bite. It's a great all day smoke. If you like traditional English mixtures that consist of Virginia, Syrian Latakia, plus a touch of Turkish Yenidje, you need to try this blend. You will not be disappointed!!
It has become one of my all time favorite blends. I highly recommend it.

P&W 524 is a very fine English blend. This is the first tobacco that I have smoked that contained Yenidje, which must be what makes it differ from other English blends that I have smoked. Very good taste and no bite. No problems keeping lit. Highly recommended.

I bought some #524 awhile back and put it into mason jars as is my habit.Well, I smoked one of the jars with gusto and promptly forgot I had the other jar. Therefore my Highly recommended comment is biased slightly by the fact the tobacco was cellared for about 8-9 months. I enjoy #524 as an infrequent smoke normally, it just seems to press most of my "Nice Smoke" buttons. Now having gone through five bowlfuls of the older stuff,it has gotten even better. The Yenidje,latakia and Virginias have entered in to an agreement of support betweeen themselves and produced a wonderful blend. Good stuff, Maynard. Buy twice as much as you think you want and put the other half into fairly short term cellarage.(Is that a word?)

Do a word search on Google and Yahoo and see how many blends out there are using both the hard to come by Syrian Latakia and the Oriental Yenidje tobacco. This is one unique smoke that starts out like a normal english would with sweet overtones but by mid bowl you are treated to something all together different and it is quite entoxicating! Be sure to dedicate a pipe to this stuff because it will leave its unique essense behind. I think its a blend that Cigar snmokers in particular would be fond of, not that it has any Havana or Cigar leaf in it, It has a rounder, darker wood,taste from the Syrian Latakia and one heck of a kick from the Yenidje although I would say the nicotene is not overwhelming but is present. It will be in my rotation from now on. Great tobacco!

Very solid middle of the road English. There are many entrants in this field, this is a quality one. If you happen to be going though the Pipeworks and Wilke catalog, definitely worth adding.

This is probably the finest English mixture I have ever enjoyed, so far. It has a captivating taste that is very satisfying without a high nicotine level. The latakia content is moderate without overtaking the other components. It has a natural sweetness that keeps you coming back for more. For those, like myself, who have given up on English/Balkan blends, this could be the one.

Simply one of the best tobaccos around. It has a wonderful, spicy smell and you find the same fragrances while smoking. The first impressions remins me of GL Pease Bohemian Scandal because the top note you detect is the syrian latakia, but this is smoother and, all in all, a better tobacco. No problems found as far as wetness or relighting, almost the perfect blend. Wonderful.

As a smoker of Wilke tobaccos for a very long time I think I can say with some authority that this is some pretty good stuff.I feel that Wilke's forte lies in the aromatic world ,but this is really very good.A very rich and flavorful mixture with a strong Turkish element to it.It is like Nat Sherman #536 kiced up a few notches with extra Latakia and a different Turkish leaf. A very good after dinner tobacco. 3 of 4 stars
