This was the first tobacco I smoked after I returned to pipes from a long absence. I bought 8 oz. and smoked a couple dozen bowls before I mixed the rest of a 4 oz. tin of Hal O' the Wynd with it to do something to them both. The resulting blend wasn't an improvement over the Old English.
I picked this tobacco because I remember that I was particularly fond of English/Balkan blends. This one didn't have the savoriness that I remember from my old favorite blends. There was an overall sweetness to the blend that seemed out of place. Even the Latakia had a sweetness to it that I found out of character.
Old English was an OK blend, but it just didn't do for me what I wanted it to do. I may try this blend again sometime in the future.
