Abenaki Tobacco Co. New Castle English
(2.50)
A nice combination of African Burley, Turkish and Virginia pipe tobaccos with a hint of Latakia added as to not overwhelm the blend. Our smoothest Latakia blend we offer. An Abenaki Classic!

This is the second of the Abenaki English style tobaccos that I've tried, the others being Turkish Balkan and Stonehenge English. I liked the former very much and the latter not very much. New Castle English falls somewhere in the middle.
This tobacco reminds me of the venerable Walnut from John Middleton, though it is better (it doesn't have as much of that Cavendish "drugstore" taste). It is a fairly mild English, though there is plenty of oriental tobacco taste and some Latakia. Abenaki's description of New Castle English mentions Virginias but I didn't see or taste much of these (this is not a particularly sweet smoke). I don't detect any topping. It lights easily and burns cleanly, but tends to bite if you puff too hard. Reasonably priced.
Glad I tried it but I'm not planning on buying it again, as I prefer a stronger tasting English with more Latakia.
