Chartwell was my first English blend, and it's true what they say: you never forget your first. After some time as an aromatic smoker, I wished to try for something different. David at Milans suggested Chartwell as a good bridge English blend. The leaf lit easily and stayed lit. The Latakita was detectable, but not to any great strength. The smoke was smooth and tasty. Like with most Milan blends, there was no bite. This was a delightful experience that I must recommend others (seasoned and new English blend smokers alike) to try.

An outstanding Medium English that I think should have a bigger audience. Extremely well balanced, cool smoking and just a little extra something - plum after taste to keep things interesting.
I don't really get a rum raisin sweetness that one Reviewer mentioned. And based on flavor I would place this more in the English Camp as opposed to Aromatic or Hybrid.
Also the description says mild - I think this blend's strength has more body than many Medium English blends out there. In a word - Delicious!
How anyone could rate this superlative mixture less than 4 stars is a Mystery to me.

Good blend. No tongue bite. Stays lit with minimal effort. Don't really taste the Latakia. Adding more would improve the blend but it is still an enjoyable all day smoke.

Let me first start out by saying that I am relatively new to pipe smoking. After smoking various aromatics for a number of months, I decided to try most all types of pipe tobacco from pure latakia, to burleys, and virginias. This one suits me the best and for me personally this is my favorite of all that i have tried. This is a light smoke but definetely has more sustainence than an aromatic cavendish. I could taste the latakia in it, but it was blended in beautifully to enhance the other flavors. The best thing about this is that it left no heavy after taste in my mouth after smoking. It smells very much like a campfire coming out of the bag, but in a smoke it tastes like a light pleasant cedar taste that i enjoy.
I had no problems with it staying lit or not being dry enough. It burns easier for me than most of my other blends.
