It's not a lat-bomb, but it does have a smoky, woody Cyprian latakia presence in an important support role. The dry, woody Turkish is hardly noticable. The Virginia is slightly citrusy with some grass notes, and a hint of earthiness. It forms the base of the blend. The slightly sweet topping is minimal. Has a mild nic-hit. Won't bite. Burns fairly cool at a moderate pace with a consistent flavor, though it lacks depth. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, and needs an average number of relights. Has a decent after taste. Can be an all day smoke. More a two and a half star mixture.

This should be something I like more than I do. I bought 8 oz of it two years ago, and it is almost gone. It had to be the dampest tobacco I have ever bought, and it was also the slowest drying.
To my palate this was a latakia forward nondescript blend with a Virginia base and some burley to give it some body. I am a fan of orientals and did not find them in the flavor profile.
It is OK, and I can smoke it. I think there are many better choices that come at a better price point and don't have you paying for quite so much water.

A good looking mixture that packs well and is nice to the touch.
This is a light English, with a grassy, sugary base adorned with Latakia. Good smoke production, burns fine and leaves a bit of moisture behind. A bit flat in nicotine and character overall. If “Wimpy English” is a category, this is the reference point.
