Cut as a rather fine ribbon, this smells primarily spicy and sweet with a light smoky overtone.
This is based upon excellent white burley, wholesome and rich. There is a goodly amount of turkish leaf, contributing its fragrant richness. There is a gentle amount of virginia and a good touch of natural black burley cavendish for sweetness. Latakia content is noticeable, though light.
A quality americanized english, though no Dunhill, this. Light and gentle, though flavorsome, Sunrise Smoke is a winning entry in the premium market, though it falls shy of the super-premium slotting. At a reasonable price point, this is a no brainer. This went well in a chamber of any gauge.

I'm no expert in latakia blends. In fact I won't be fool enough to attempt to pawn myself off as a know it all in anything.
I don't think its wise as a reviewer to compare one toby to another. Plain and simple facts. Talk about whats on your plate and not whats on someone elses and never compare the two.
I sampled this charming blend recently. I can safely say that if you are thinking about exploring the world of latakia blends that this would be a great place to start.
The Latakia flavor is there humbly placed to dance with everything else. Its not strong at all. You could smoke it all day while doing any task. It is indeed mild and yet distinctly flavorfull. There is a sweet note to this which cannot be explained as there is no caseing listed in this blend. It simply could be natural sugars from the virginia peaking out but I simply have my doubts. But it is so soft its not worth arguing over weather or not if this is an aero. Its simply not worth the effort to go into.
There was also a slight hint of a cocoa flavor there somewhere on several puffs. So much so that on the next few puffs I struggled fervantly to isolate it again on my palate which I could not do. As I put my mind away from it and went back to the book I was reading it came back very very subtley. So I can say this that this blend has some nice mild nuances that will leave you curiously pleased through out the bowl.

Honestly not bad. I bought it only because an 8 oz. tin was just over ten dollars, and I can't resist a bargain, even if it turns out to be expensive mulch! But seriously, this may not be a fine blend, but it is just fine. Supposed to be like Early Morning Pipe. I have never had EMP, but would guess that it is nothing like. Not classic enough. However, it is quite smokeable. Lots of black leaf, but it ain't Latakia. Actually, they say it is "pressed black ribbon" and that there is Latakia. Well, not much. There is some sweet sauce, maybe a little PG, but it does seem to be dryable, so can't be much. It bites a little, but it's controllable. This may be due to the fast burning rate, but the burn is even, and I found the problem went away with slow sipping. Anyway, the flavor came through better that way. This is definitely sugared, and there may be a flavoring as well, but it is mild and I can't put my finger on it yet. This will not replace my favorite Virginia flakes, but I could see myself smoking it in my rotation and maybe getting a couple more tins, especially if the price stays that low.
