Hearth & Home Sunjammer
(3.37)
A smooth and sweet blend of bright and red Virginias, Macedonian and other Orientals, smoky latakia and a touch of unflavored toasted black cavendish. A traditional Scottish-type mixture, a great alternative for the Dunhill 965 smoker who is looking for the same kind of medium bodied, slightly sweet latakia blend, but would like something a bit different.

I am giving this mixture 3 stars since it is a very cool, dry and sweet smoke. It is close to the old Dunhill 965 before that blend was ruined. It does not have that horrible stringent taste of cheap tobacco that is so prevalent in the new 965, but it does lack just a bit of heft (too light on the Latikia) amd I think Russ is using black cavendish rather than brown. If you are like me and found 965 was the perfect all day smoke, give this blend a try. I think some age will improve it.

I enjoy this blend and find it a sister to another of Russ Oulette's blends, Mt Marcy; the cut, texture, flavor and aroma is quite similar between the two. I enjoy the fragrance in the pouch of this blend, the smoke is slightly sweet and delicate with a tangyness that is not overpowering. Dry and coarse-cut this mix packs best in a large bowl. 7 of 10 stars.
