There are a few honey notes, and touches of grass and tart and tangy citrus from the Virginia. It forms the base of the blend. The earthy, woody Kentucky burley offers a small amount of cocoa and nuts. The topping is lightly fruity with a very mild touch of coconut. The strength and taste levels are mild. Has little nicotine. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns at a moderate pace, and fairly cool as long as you don't puff like a steam engine. The flavor is consistent through out the experience. Here and there, I get a little chemical taste, and a hint of syrup. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires few relights. Has a decent after taste, and very pleasant room note. Makes a decent work and outdoor play all day smoke, and drinking a hot beverage while smoking it seems to perk it up some.

I saw this a few weeks ago at a tobacco shop, while on a Sunday drive. Having tried several other Kentucky Club blends I thought I would give this blend a try.
It is a light cavendish, similiar to Flying Dutchman, but without the aftertaste. It lit well and smoked easy, with no noticable tongue bite. I was surprised to find a light, almost floral casing and a woodsy top note. Recommended for those who enjoy Kentucky Club and want a change of pace; and for those who want a good tobacco for a Sunday drive.

I am fond of the Middleton family of tobacco's. I smoked a lot of them when I was younger and 35 years later I am still smoking them..I like the honest character of Kentucky Club and thought a Northern European style cavendish blend that Kentucky Club Continental is, was an "must try" proposition.. Continental blend consists of light and sweet dark cavendish leaves. It is what it says is..Mild, packs well,stays lit and gives a nice subdued sweet coconut note. The room note is very nice. My only negatives are that it can dottle a bit in the bottom of the bowl,and does turn just a tad sour in the end. But all in all a very inexpensive and pleasant smoke..Will keep a can of this stuff around as a nice change of pace as I dotter from middle age into old age.. Kentucky Club fans...give it a try...For you Captain Black Royal smokers,a blend which I also like, this is a good change of pace if you want to kick down the sweetness level a couple of notches. Was smoked in an Oom Paul style Italian second pipe, which is one of my favorites..KCC performed pretty well
