Oriental and Perique forward blend with Latakia and Virginia in supporting roles. It has a sweetish topflavour that at first reminded me somewhat of shoepolish but which grew on me eventually. Mostly square cut tobacco's, no ready rubbed or other pressed tobacco present. Very spicy with quite a lot of pepper from Perique, think of it as Presbyterian on steroids.

This one is quite special. A peculiar marriage between an English Latakia mixture and a German flavoured mixture.
I am not an aromatic smoker but "Best" is flavoured discreetely as some of the Irish blends. This is a nice change of pace when I get those Latakia cravings and feels that the traditional English's are to heavy. There is plenty of Latakia here but it is skillfully blended and will not dominate the other leaf.
Fresh and delightful, as if made for a sunny day on the porch with a jug of iced tea with lemon. Them Germans surprise me sometimes, since I do not fancy most of their blends. Buy it at: www.zigarren-bennung.de

Very similar to the English blend but the Latakia in this one is more subdued and soft. However, it comes through enough to almost be dominant. While the Latakia in this blend plays well with the VA, it somewhat drowns out the oriental, whick only pokes through from time to time. All in all, a pleasing light english blend.
