The Orientals are slightly dry, buttery sweet and woody with a little spice as the lead component. The unsweetened black cavendish adds some brown sugar for some smoothness in the background. The Virginia has a little earth and grass, plus some citrus and fruit, acting as a foundation for the other ingredients to play off. The nic-hit is just past the mild level. A well balanced mixture that burns moderately, cool and clean with a very creamy consistent flavor. Won't bite and has no dull or harsh spots. Needs few relights, and leaves little moisture in the bowl. Has a pleasant after taste that lingers a mite.

Reserve #21 is my favorite English style blend in the Compton's lineup. The room fills with smoke quickly from the strong Latakia presence that is balanced beautifully by the black Cavendish. The Virginia/Oriental element is far off in the background but noticeable.
