Hearth & Home American Heritage
(3.45)
A combination of matured Burleys, Red Virginia, Turkish and a touch of Latakia. This blend will be mild and cool smoking with just a little spice. Definitely an all-day type of smoke.

I have not smoked Blue Boar since the 80's and so my memory may be faulty. I claim this is close to Blue Boar, and I find it a great blend. I can taste the burley, and the latakia is there but does not overpower. There is a touch of sweet Viginia. This is a wonderful mix of flavors. While it is not my regular smoke, I find I keep it around and enjoy it. I have one pipe currently devoted to American Heritage, and it has a smallish bowl. I may try it in a larger bowl.

This is a very skillful use of burley in an English blend because I can't taste it at all, only sense it in the body. The entire blend has a kind of balance which makes it suitable for all day smoking. Much more complex than most of this genre too (burley and English), of which there are a lot of mediocre examples.
I would like it more if it had a nicotine kick, but I realize most people don't want this.

I think this is an unique blend, Ameican style English. It's smoother and mellower than I expected. Burns well and cool and the flavor are layered. The strength develops as the middle of the bowl.

This is a very well-rounded, well-behaved blend. Some burley nuttiness with a nice richness and slight spiciness from the other components to make it complex enough to keep it interesting. Generous amounts of smoke with a clean finish. Pairs well with coffee. A great all-day smoke. I keep this one in regular rotation.
