Compton's of Galashiels York Medium Mixture
(4.00)
A full English blend. It took three years to get this blend right. It is 45% latakia with a heavy helping of Orientals with brown cavendish and Virginias. It is lighter and somewhat sweeter than the York Full Mixture.

I guess there is a similarity between York Medium and York Full, but I find this one to be just as strong and naturally sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed the way the Latakia dominated, but also appreciated the subtle spicy sweetness of the Orientals and Virginia that Maxim Engel returned to the smoker's fold in the mid 2000's. The Cavendish added a lot of belly to this one. Truly a fine smoke.
