Update, March 10: I thoroughly enjoy this blend. It's medium in strength and long on flavor and I love the room note. The taste is tasty, but leaves me wanting more of that Latakia. I highly recommend this. Going to get some more today!
I'm a cigar smoker, first and foremost, and I'm gave into my intrigue with pipes and bought a corncob. I tried this blend...it's the second one I tried. I like it. Still looking for something more full flavored. Something that lingers on the palate. The roomnote reminds me of incense at church. Oh, and I love the Owl Shop. They are terrific and have a nice variety of blends that I'm going to try.

I cant praise the Owl Shop enough...they blend tobaccos of such quality and taste, it can boggle the mind. this time its Bancroft Tower. this came in a smallish flake, a little tough and brittle. took a couple mins to rub out, and I cant say that lighting was a breeze...but once you get that smoulder going you realize that this is all worth the effort. this can bite a little while lighting up, but cools off soon after. the taste is fantastic...great Virginia sweet and spicey tang, only made better by a peppery perique addition...the sweet smokey Latakia weaves in and out throught the bowl, getting more frequent in the 2nd half. this is a blend I can smoke all day, though might be a bit of a nicotine smack to those who smoke mild blends. overall another great blend from George Photakis, Worcester's own living legend.
