John Patton Spyglass
(2.83)
This blend should surprise anyone who has paid attention to my tastes in tobacco. It has a healthy amount of Turkish, lesser amounts of both burley and cigar leaf, and 35% latakia. It seems that the Turkish and latakia balance Spyglass very well indeed.

It¡¦s a difficult tobacco for me to describe but I know one definite thing about it and that is, the more you smoke it, the more it grows on you. I smoked this blend in several shaped and size bowls and I found that it was at its best in larger bowled pipes.
This blend consists of 4 tobaccos, Turkish, Latakia, Burley and Cigar leaf which together make for an interesting smoke. I am not a great lover of latakia and even with 35 % lat content, mixed with the other tobaccos I found that it was not overpowering at all or cloying to the palate. The Turkish and latakia leaf complimented each other adding a nice Smokey spice to the blend. The burley added an earthiness and nutty tone to the tobacco and the cigar leaf finished off the blend with a slightly bitter edge. The bitterness was not unpleasant but to the contrary and I enjoyed this tobaccos overall flavour. It burns easily and to a fine white ash. Even I could keep this one lit to the very bottom of the bowl ?º
