John Patton Ed's Home from Work

(3.00)
Six tobaccos, including cigar leaf, are woven together to create an English-style taste that is hard to define. Balanced, so that no one element will be overwhelming.

Ed must be a lover of tobacco that falls somewhere between oriental, burley, English and Middleton's Walnut. I got tastes of all of these while smoking this amazing blend in a range of briar pipes. Finally found the right one -- an older Kaywoodie.

JP is something of a wizard of the leaf, and his blends defy classification in general. This one is even harder to pin down. I suppose that the mysterious Ed must have asked for something a little bit like a lot of other tobaccos, but all at once. And that's what he got.

Starts out very mild, the cigar very muted, and you can taste some spice. Then you get that usual JP harshness, but only slightly, before the other tobacco flavours kick in -- burley, possibly some Va, and the oriental/Turkish.

Highly complex, and a worthy addition to JP's line-up. Somewhere between Storm Front and Moe's Confetti, because there is a kind of semi-aromatic note to it from time to time.

This will be in my now-crowded rotation. What with JP's other blends, and the rest of what the market has to offer, I am lucky if I get to smoke more than one of each per week.

Virginias, Orientals, and to a lesser degree, Latakia make this a new introduction to Latakia. While there is a slight sweetness from the Virginia, theres also some spice from the Oriental. The cigar leaf stays in the background, and doesnt slap you in the face, but is still noticeable. My go-to blend when I get Home From Work.
