Sillem's Black
(3.42)
Extravagant is the right word to characterize this mixture. We have revolutionized the traditional old English art of blending. The main ingredient is the finest spicy smoky latakia. By adding highly aromatic black cavendish, this blend becomes smoother. A small portion of burley gives a slight toasted aroma, and a pinch of bright Virginia brings a subtle sweet note. Mellow, but yet full bodied aromas of honey and fruit essences result in a unique flavor. This tobacco will surely be a delight.
Notes: This tobacco is listed as English Aromatic on the website "Smokingpipes.com."

To date this is one of the best aromatic blend, I have had. this blend is for everyone. non-aromatic smokers will like the fact that it has an English tone to it.the latakia really makes this blend work for me. the flavoring of all the tobacco blends together so well, an all around great smoke, I know I will keep some tins in my cellar.

i love sillem's black! this is one of my all time favorites. like, top 5. the aroma and taste is exactly as the other reviewers said: its like marshmallows over a campfire. the taste is not too sweet at all, and the smell is just fantastic. great tobacco! the dash of virginia is perfect, and it has just the right amount of latakia. this definitly makes me want to try sillem's other blends.

The Dude! His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
the combination of smoky Latakia with aromatic black Cavendish reminds me marshmallow on campfire. I was also surprised by the kind of strange taste.. strange in a good way 🙂
