This is one of the finest tobaccos I have ever tried. As a lover of Latakia, this blend has just enough to be the primary flavor, but it is rounded out so well by the other ingredients that it is not abrasive. Definitely not a Heavy English.
My go-to daily smoke.

I really like this blend. It has a nice sweet, smokey exotic flavor that I can really get behind.
An added bonus is that jack Peterson is one helluva a guy. Support this man as he is a gem.

This is an excellent English blend which burns clean and smooth and tastes fantastic from char to heel. I agree with Markw4mms though, it's not what I'd call a "Heavy" english either, the orientals are definitely too much in the lead at times. Hard to imagine a Lat fiend not loving this blend just the same, however, or anyone who appreciates the taste of fine leaf. Should be avoided by those who want absolutely no sweetness in their English blends, however.

Got this as my requested free sample and loved it. It is so far my favorite english blend and I will order more. It is comparatively pricey for Pipe tobacco, but I don't think the price should effect my rating and thus I give it four stars.
Perfect humidity level, a creamy dry, cool and leathery smoke that is, "Oh so smooth." In addition, Jack Peterson is a pleasure to deal with.
Edit 12/9/13 I have downgraded this considerably to two stars. I still enjoy this, but have since had many others that I enjoy as much or more than this one.
Edit 8/16/2017
I am leaving this one at 3 stars, but have grown much as a smoker since my previous review. I will still say this was a good smoke, but in some ways I feel it is just too much variety and maybe not enough of each or some of the elements if that makes sense.
To elaborate. There is almost every oriental and Turkish in this blend and perhaps I would enjoy this more if the Yenidje was a little less prevalent. This will lead to many shifting flavors which is a good thing, but to my tastes not enough of them are to my liking. When this hits about mid bowl it does more settle into a more nutty and woody tasting smoke which I do enjoy.
So three stars to my tastes, but this could easily be a four star blend to those who love the contemplative shifting smokes.

English with a twist. This is a delightful smoke. It has enough Latikia to keep me honest but a mouthful of great flavor. Love this stuff. Thanks to 1776 for believing in it so much to send me a sample. I'm hooked,

Fantastic blend, but far too expensive. I wish Jack would lower his prices. I just can't afford it. $75 for a 14oz tin just breaks my bank. Lower your prices Jack!

tastes great--easily packed and lit--burned down to a white ash-- there was a very slight gurgle, but the fault lies with the pipe, not the tobacco--
medium to mild english blend--would recommend to anyone wanting to try an english smoke for the first time--really can't describe room note as i always smoke outdoors--no casing flavor evident--
believe i will lay in a stock of this one--
update:--after several experiences with this blend i find it is extremely drying to my mouth and tongue--still a good smoke, but leaves me a bit uncomfortable afterward--dropping the rating to 3 stars-
it likely is my body chemistry reacting

This has got to be one of my favorite English Blends - although it doesn't have any perqique in it (a minor quibble).
Jack Peterson joins the ranks of mastery - with this superb English - put him up there with G.L. Pease, Russ Oulette, and Richard Gottlieb. If doctorates were given out for tobacco blending - then this would probably be his P.H.D.
The blend has such balance, structure and complexity that not one note seems to dominate this blend. Rather they all interplay like a fine symphony - with the Latakia soaring like a beautiful aria - that rises higher and higher with each puff.
There is little aftertaste in the palate or gunk left in the pipe. As I mentioned before in an other review - there is a certain creaminess to his blends with an exception of Double Eagle in the Sterling Tobacco line. This creaminess gives a wonderful smoothness to the smoke and adds to the complexity. Perhaps the creaminess is due to the fine orientals that compliment the virginia tobaccos in 1776 Tavern.
Although it is the priciest of his blends it is definitely - a wonderul example of what a "great" english blend can be.
I give this 4 stars plus.

Tavern is a nice English with plenty of Latakia to please you. Those who love Latakia will always find the room note quite pleasant. No bite for me and I would be happy to have a few tons of this in my cellar. I only wish this came in actual tins but life isn't perfect.
