Something for the lover of stout English mixtures. Bright and fired cured Virginias are generously spiced with Latakia and Perique creating a full flavored yet piquant blend, ideal for the evening hours.

I was disappointed with this offering from Peretti. It came to me more moist than I like and I should have dried it out some before trying it I must admit (I later tried it more dry and it wasn't much better) This burned ok in the bowl, took quite a few lights to really get it going, this is no big deal to me since I like to really get my tobacco lit well from the get go. Volume of smoke was acceptable and the taste and aroma were ok. At the beginning of the bowl it struck me as being quite acrid on the palate. I thought that the components would all be great together, but it just didn't work well for me. Omega was far better and seemed to be more ladened with latakia than this blend...if that is to your liking. This is reported to have perique in the blend but I really can't detect its presence. Personally, I like a good balance between the latakia and perique, didn't find that to be the case with this one.
