Tinder Box Sherlock's Choice
(2.58)
The correct marriage of Virginia, Latakia, and Turkish tobaccos accounts for the robust flavors of this classic blend. Medium flavored and cool smoking.

I recieved two ounces of the fine weed for my birthday and am now smoking the last bowl as I write this review. I was a bit apprehensive when I loaded my first bowl as I didn't think a bulk blend from a chain tobacco store would be any good. Boy was I wrong!
Sherlock's Choice will not go down as one of the great tobaccos but what it does offer is a fantastic all day smoke. I think it is like a great table wine. Not amazing but good enough to want to smoke everyday, which is what I now do. It's not heavy on the palate. It doesn't bit no matter hard I puff, and believe me, I puff like a mad locomotive. It has enough flavor to keep me interested and enough smoke to make it fun.
I really like this blend and would recommend it anyone who likes a good all around smoke.

This is a very good smoke, rich and inviting.It is a very natural smoke without the cloying sweetness of a aromatic. At the same time it is more complex then a simple one note smoke. I enjoy this smoke at any time but it needs to be smoked slowly to appreciate it.

This was the very first English blend I had ever tried and it was purchased along with some 965, Sherlocks choice is very sweet at first light giving way to the Virginia and Latakia, the rest of the bowl is seemingly uneventfull save for the potential to bite if you are not carefull. This was at first blamed on my inexperience with the English blends but I have revisted it several times after testing many others and find that it is a little bland compared to the 965 and say Nightcap. The bite potential is a problem and not just me, you must go easy on this stuff. All in all it is a good end of day smoke or a walk the dog smoke, the wife and kids are not fond of the room note but don't whimper as much as when I smoke Commonwealth Blend or Penznance. Not a good one to start out on.
