(2.89)
Owl’s Head is a mild yet full-bodied mixture of fragrant, flavorful Oriental and Turkish tobaccos enhancing the richly smoky Latakia, with a touch of Perique to add a bit of spice and a deeply sweet note. This ain't your grandfather’s English blend.

Wow! What a surprise this was! This is a variation of Sam's Blend or Mississippi Mud by C&D. A very flavorful and potent mixture. The Latakia almost attacks you right from the pouch!This is a very heavy mixture to be savored after dinner.This is in the flavor class of Penzance or Pirate Kake. The flavor is so rich and it will leave ou satisfied for hours after you smoke it. It must be smoked dry . I made the mistake of adding distilled water and it altered the flavor in a most unpleasant way.IMHO this is Sam's Blend with the addition of Turkish tobacco.It is not for the faint of heart. If you enjoy really wonderful Latakia laden mixtures,this is for you. 4 of4 stars!

This is the most satisfying English blend that I have tasted in a long time. It is well balanced without sacrificing body and strength. Mine was received in a fairly dry condition and smoked well right out of the bag, needing no drying. Satisfying is the word that comes to mind with this blend: satisfying body, satisfying volume, and satisfying flavor. The flavor is not a strained mix of flavors but more of a perfect union; no one tobacco type sticks it's head out for attention.

I really enjoy this tobacco. It has a very satisfying rich flavor. The Turkish & Latakia dance perfectly with the Perique giving this a unique flavor. The Perique adds a very nice bit of spice to this wonderful blend. I would recommend this to those that enjoy Sam's Blend from C&D or if you are looking for a unique smoking experience.
