Summary: this American English mixes Black Cavendish with sweet Virginias to produce a piquant, mild smoking mixture.
This blend feels like an Americanized version of Dunhill "My Mixture 965" but with a salty Black Cavendish instead of the sweeter version, and sweeter Virginias instead of the richer varieties. The Latakia taste appears first in interplay with the tangy Orientals, then the Black Cavendish takes over with a dark, dried vegetation flavor, with the Virginias providing a constant sweet backdrop and the Burleys filling out the middle. The result has the sweet-n-sour balance of a good English with the fuller body of a Burley blend, but tends too far toward the sweet and salty, making this piquant blend somewhat cloying.
