Peter Stokkebye English Oriental Supreme (No.306)

This is a light English blend with excellent smoking characteristics. The flavor is light, even approaching bland with a slight preponderance of the orientals and little latakia contribution.

This may sound somewhat negative, but in fact I find this to be a very pleasant all day smoke. The blend burns very well, dry and cool with good smoke volume.

There are times when I love a strong English, with its strength of Latakia. And, there are times when I like a lighter English, or an English/Oriental blend like EMP. This blend, for me, is simply marvelous. I can't get enough of this. Smooth, rich, refined, and fairly complex. The Orientals take precedence over the Cyprian Latakia, but every leaf in the blend seems of high quality, and as it's a Stokkebye blend, it's extremely well done. I would give this to any newer piper for their introduction into Latakias. I have recommended it to seasoned vets. It's simply an all day blend for a lover of Orientals and Latakia. Never gives me the dreaded dry mouth effect, either. The Burley and Black Cav just smooth things out to a remarkable degree. Wonderful blend, and reasonable!

PS English Oriental Supreme is an outstanding, mellow pipe smoking mixture.

It is not a traditional english, it is not a perfumey oriental, it is not an american burley/va blend, it is not a black cavendish candy-laced aromatic....it is a Frankenstein-like creature of a blend and it is brilliant!

All the tobaccos work together in a symphonic effect to produce a fantastic, intriguing, contemplative smoke that is sweet and easy-going. Not too strong in either flavor or nicotine and never gets boring. Beautiful ribbon cut makes for an easy pack no matter the pipe size.

Highly Recommended!

Most excellent blend with only highest grade tobaccos for sure, you know this because you can taste it. The only thing I find kinda odd is the description says through tobaccoreview that there is orientals yet the Stokkebye main description does not say these tobaccos are present which impart is a strange title for a blend name, when I smoke this awesome blend I get no hints of orientals at all but never the less this blend is one of the best non aromatics I have had in a long time, its the mildness that blows my mind yet maintaining its depth and weight to it in flavor. The latakia is just right and the unflavored cavendish gives it just a hint of sweetness while the burley keeps it toned down and smoking smooth. I absolutely love latakia although I am a aromatic man, latakia bombs are a huge turn off when over done and it taste like your smoking a leather ashtray of smokiness with something else, I do not call that all natural all tobacco taste I call that yuk!!! BUT PS EOS 306 is the perfect model of a fine English style tobacco blend that allows you to enjoy the taste of latakia but in harmony with all the other goodness it has to offer. Very mellow, very smooth, low nicotine and light to medium in body I enjoy this blend very much so I highly recommend it!!!

I found this one full of flavour and in a very good balance and I think that is the beauty of this tobacco. However, this isn't a strong one which is not going to punch you or dare I say not even give you a kick! It's all about good complex flavour! First, it praises you with the sweetness of the Virgina, also a hint of Black Cavendish, along with ... the nuttiness from the burley, occasionally you have a touch of spiciness, from the orientals? I'm not so sure, but that little fragrant mustiness is certainly there. The Latakia is a team player, but not dominant! I enjoyed this one immensely! Get yourself a good sized bowl (To this I prefer a pot with a good breath) and let the baccy shines through if you like English, I'm more than highly recommend this one to you! And do sip this little beauty slowly, Enjoy!

4.5 out of 4

This is my every day smoke. First thing in the morning with coffee and often times, all through the day. For every ounce I buy of something else, I'll puchase a half pound of this. The cavendish provides a sweet note without ever being cloying. The rest are expertly mixed and the concoction never bites regardless of what I smoke it in or how hard I smoke. Low on the nicotine and high on flavor. You won't find it very strong but what it lacks in this it makes up in character. Small pipe or large, it's very forgiving and cares little as to how it's packed. If you want a blend of this sort this one's always consistent and demands little in the way of attention regarding tecnique or moisture content, here it is.

Excellent blend. Sweeter (hard to describe) than the Proper and Luxury English blends for P.S.. I love it though. The after smell is very aromatic and enjoyable.

It seems to be more musty, earthy, and a bit more 'spicy', if you will, than the other P.S. english blends. Has less Latakia than both proper and luxury but maintains a smokey flavor.

If you're one of those guys that only likes tons of latakia in an english blend then go smoke C & D pirate cake . This blend to me is the perfect english style blend . Smokey , clean ,cool, flavorful and a little spice.It's fantastic and they sell it in 5 lb bags . The roomnote is better than most english blends , imo

This is my favorite blend in the Stokkebye line. Very well balanced, natural, earthy and refined. The cavendish is just slightly noticeable and it works well in this blend, giving it a more round, mellow flavor. Really, a three and a half star blend for the aroma (or 9 out of 10). The mildness (no tongue bite) and the fact that it's available in bulk at a very reasonable price, earns it the extra half star.
