English Atmosphere was a tobacco that took on a lot of characteristics of later C&D Krumble Kake classics. I found it to be similar to Black Frigate in a lot of ways, particularly the extra sweet taste of the heavily stoved Latakia. The Virginia, as was always the case with the original Hermit tobaccos, had a lot of Red and was sweet (naturally). Just a fine smoke, IMO.

I'm probably jumping the gun in reviewing this blend because I have only smoked it a few times recently, but I must say that so far I am quite impressed. Very smooth, although I would prefer a slightly more dominating Latakia taste. I was at first a little put off by what I thought was a note of Burley (I'm not, sadly, a fan of Burley) but am now inclined to think it was the Black Cavendish. Each smoke seems a little better to me, but the price ($10 for a 2oz tin) is too high in my estimation.
