Hearth & Home Admiralty
(3.00)
A variety of Virginias for sweetness and spice, with enough Oriental to add to the brightness of the flavor and aroma, plus a healthy amount of a few types of latakia. Admiralty is perfect for an early evening pipe with and after dinner beverage. Try this one in a larger pipe, packed firmly, since it burns readily.

I love several Hearth and Home blends and I think Russ O. is one of America's top blenders, what he can do with what he has available to him is nothing short of phenomenal. This blend just missed it for me. I was looking for a faster burning blend that was mild to med. for this summer. However, this blend just seems to be lacking a lot. It looks beautiful and has this great creamy smell in the tin and I do get that creaminess in retrohaling. Lat. is there but not dominating, which I like too but the overall taste was just very mild, almost flat but not quite that bad. I just could not get all the flavor profile that I thought would be present in this blend. This one just missed for my taste. Still worth a try if you are looking for a mild English blend.

The orientals are very pronounce, the latakia is o.k. the sweetness of the virginias shine through rescuing this blend from been a one star rating from me it takes a lot of relights for no matter what kind packing technique I use although it sings better for me in a meerschaum, this one was let down for me.

This is an okay tobacco reminding me of many others of the medium English type. Nothing really stands out to me or makes me want to give up any of my C&D all day English blends. I found some bitterness in the four ounces I sampled which was not pleasing to me, but perhaps that is you cup of tea as I see the other reviews for this blend have been pretty high. Can't say the quality here reminds me of anything in the old Dunhill line.

I purchased a six pack of samples from my favorite web site, pipesandcigars.com, figuring I should support them. As usual, I stuck with the English type blends. One of the problems with this sort of trial is that smoking similar blends lends to confusion, tastes flowing together. I puposefully chose to smoke one two ounce sample bag all the way through, before trying the others.
This was one of my favorites, although I had a large time trying to keep pipes full of it lit. This was true of all the pipesandcigars.com blends, frankly.
Just nothing to write home about. I don't think I'll give up 965 or Early morning for these, although I buy those at their site, too (damned taxes in Virginia!) so they shouldn't notice the loss in business.

This one was kinda of a paradox. It was really dry in the tin, which was a good thing. I really wondered if the seal was bad until I read other similar reviews.
I think of this as more of an English than oriental blend in my book. It's easy to pack.. just pick out the twigs.
No tongue bite, not a huge nic hit, and a fairly decent smoke.
