An English mixture that there is nothing to reproach, but nothing to praise either. It smokes nicely but I don't think I'll miss it when I finish the only tin I have. Actually, the world of flavors is very relative, because if it were one of the first mixes with Latakia that I had smoked, I think I could feel that it opened the doors of heaven, but if you have already smoked a few of this type It may seem like one more...

Calumet is rich and smoky, but not unlike many Latakia laden blends I've smoked. I guess since my tin was one of the old originals, the fermentation process had really done its job and this one shined. I compare it to Rattray's Black Mallory with a little less sweetness but more strength.

um, yeah, another incredible blend.Incense, incense, incense.This tastes and smells of incense. I love it!! I am not a fan of Cyprian, but in this blend the Cyprian is subdued, just peeking in and out throughout the bowl. I dont know how old it is for there is no date code on the tin. The smell emanating from the pipe is incredible. I wonder why I like this so much! A very peaceful blend, indeed. Voluminous smoke, a little light in Vitamin N, but that's okay. There is a kind of clay like taste that just peeks through that reminds me of BS 759. The latakia has a bit of that "Dung" taste, but it quickly transforms to a bit of that smooth soapy taste that some lat's have, but all the while the Incense taste pops up. quite good, one of the best cyprian I have ever had, though I am no expert on latakia blends. This blend really shines in a meerschaum. Yep, 4 stars!
