One of my "go to" tobacco's. When I've had my fill of trying new blends. This is what I turn to. I experimented with 220/220 aging (2 hour and 20 minutes at 220deg). Gave it a much mellower and rich smoke and melded the flavors, much more evenly.

A superb and unique mixture of tobaccos has my mouth watering. I'm quite astonished at the complexity and sheer voracity this tobacco evokes when smoked.
I am reminded of savage mohawked indians rushing into battle against horribly outnumbered Spanish regiment on the dusty plains in the Texas panhandle on an overcast autumn day after a torrential downpour of rain.

If you smoke aromatics and you're looking for a tobacco to transition into English, this might be for you. If you smoke English, you may want to look elsewhere. The latakia is there, but you kind of have to look for it. Once in a while you'll get a little hint of spice. There's some type of casing on the cavendish that I can't quite put my finger on (licorice? something like that). It's very subdued but, once I isolated it, I could not un-taste it. I thought the generous helping of cavendish sweetened the room note quite a bit (over other english blends), but my wife still crinkled her nose, so maybe not.

Toasty and somewhat sweet. Good with coffee. Not bitey. Allow plenty of drying time. Keep on hand, as it would be a good go-to, though it may get boring if smoked too often.

I went to the local shop looking for the Balkan supreme which they did not have, so I picked up a couple ounces of this instead. I was on a Balkan kick and this seemed to suffice for my next go. The orientals were there which was good, but there was something about the smoke that seemed a little rough to me. Like the flavor had too many edges. Maybe it was because the bulk jar it came from was old, as it was a little dry, but it wasn't crispy or crunchy at all. The next time I see it I'll try it again if it's a little more moist, it wasn't bad at all, but I'm not running back for a half pound of it so take that as you will. I have some C&D super Balkan still so I'll be just fine.

I will qualify this review by noting that I bought this at a cigar shop, from a bulk jar that was who knows how old, and may not even be the right jar.
Smells like a balkan blend, but it is like that in smell only. The primary flavor I get is burley, with a hint of virginia and a whisp of latakia. Cannot taste any orientals in the "oriental" blend; not a good sign. Very very light in flavor, and overall just bland. I honestly don't have much to say about it. Perhaps if I ever source it from a more reputable store I will update this review, but currently nothing is making me wish to purchase this again.

This is a re review of 5 ozs from 4-2014. Its is 9-2018 now.
My initial impression of this blend was okay. It had a decent mild to medium-ish flavor that is consistent. But unfortunately gives me tongue bite almost as bad a Mac Baren blends.
After closing in on 5 years of age, this blend has not changed other then the flavors are almost completely muted.

I found this mundane a "bland-blend", for want of the flavor and fragrance one should expect. A dash too light a mixture, perhaps? After 10 tediously unending bowls, I tossed the balance in the nearest trash can, sadly wasting money and the hopes that it aroused. Back to my Balkan Sasieni, still a mild smoke after all, but –unlike this variety- richly rewarding.

I bought this blend bulk. I did not buy much. I am glad. This blend is not for me. It does have some good points, but I am troubled by its faults. It does indeed smoke cool. It is smooth. The room note should not offend. However, the black cavendish does not work for me. The addition of this tobacco shrouds the other tobaccos in the blend. I also miss the presence of oriental tobacco.
If a mild cool blend is what you seek, try this. But if you are seeking a traditional english mixture, such as Dunhill Standard Mixture Medium, take a pass.
