Benjamin Hartwell Chesdin Mixture
(2.65)
Rich, smooth latakia blend - Benjamin Hartwell's Inn was the Quail's Breath. The specialty was wild game. Ben traveled deep into the woods to hunt and fish. His favorite spot to relax was Chesdin by the river. This is the rich, smooth latakia blend he made to enjoy in those pleasant, quiet hours at Chesdin. The recipe comes down to us as a reminder of the importance of simple pleasure at any age.

Appearance: Mostly dark leaf, combination of wide ribbon and rough cut. Fairly moist and stays that way for a long time.
Aroma: Smells like a crossover to me. There is plenty of Latakia, but there is also a definite sweetness here. This is not as heavy as Frog Morton, but does bear a strong resemblance to McClelland Coyote Mixture.
Packing: Packs well into medium to large bowls.
Lighting: Fairly typical two match light, occasionally needs three.
Flavor: Just a crossover blend for me, nothing enticing about it. All I can taste is the Latakia and a major amount of Black Cavendish, which is sweeter than I like it.
Summary: I won a can of this at a raffle. I won?t try it again.

A very slow burning tobacco that you have to puff on like mad to keep going. The smell reminds me of they way your clothes smell after camping out for a couple of days and messing with a campfire almost continuously. The taste is slightly bitter and the whole thing is pretty uninteresting. If this is as good as Latakia gets, I won't be bothering any more.
