Milan Tobacconists King's Ransom
(3.29)
King's Ransom is a traditional English blend from bygone days. Two types of Virginias, select burleys, Orientals, a generous portion of latakia, and a whisper of perique make up this bold blend. Considered medium-to-full bodied, King's Ransom has a rich latakia flavor, subtleties of nut, and just a hint of spicy sweetness on the finish.
Notes: Great for those who like the taste of Latakia.

I found this to be a delightful blend but I found it to be on the lighter side of English blends. A bit of nuttiness and a nice light spicy finish on the tongue which was fantastic! Nothing strong but a nice wake up and a great start to my day! I got no floral notes or soapy taste at all from this one! This is a blend I will enjoy over and over and one that will accompany me on my daily walks around my neighborhood! These guys know their tobacco and this one is a dandy!

Very pleasant smoke. No tongue bite. Good taste of Latakia. I don't pick up any floral notes. Enjoying it with a cup of coffee on a rainy morning and it quite hits the spot. Highly recommended. Nice blend.

This is a blend for those who love Latakia. Its my all day smoke. As previously stated, it only gets better the more you smoke it. It tends to bite -but just a bit. but overall, my favorite English blend from Milan till today. Got my half pound right here 😀

I like this blend and found it very enjoyable. KR blend has a load os Latakia. There is a almost walnut taste with this blend. It is Medium in strenght but mild on the tongue. Stays lit easy and stays fresh for a long time.KR Blend only get better as you smoke. For those who love a full latakia blend this is for you. MILAN TOBACCONIST as usual another great blend.

recommended by the shop. I really enjoy this blend and will buy more. reminds me of some Gawith Hoggarth and the Lakeland essence. not sure as to the topping cause I didn't ask. a bit floral as I do like. has just the right amount of spice and smokiness. a joy to find a great shop that still blends and takes pride in their product. very good English blend of old times. well balanced and great burning to the end.
