Former Jubilee Pipe Tobacco
(2.33)
A classic English Virginia mixture with a fairly high amount of Syrian Latakia. This blend is full bodied and spicy, yet soft and mellow with the typical natural Virginia sweetness.
Notes: Blended for the 1st China International Pipe Show 2009.
Not listed as a DTM product on their website, though they do manufacture and package this blend.

Summary: for those who like light Englishes like "Presbyterian," this sweet Virginia-Latakia blend offers an option with a light aromatic topping.
On first light, a puff of the Syrian Latakia rises to the top of the flavor profile, a sweeter and more leathery version of Latakia compared to the campfire and gunpowder sensations from the Cyprian version. This nearly vanishes in a wave of gentle brown Virginia sweetness of a fine thin flavor like Agave, possibly with some Cavendish or Maryland leaf involved, and topped with a mixture of fruits and spices. The topping essentially melts away by the end of the first quarter of the bowl, leaving a Virginia blend lightly flavored with sweet Latakia, sort of like "Presbyterian." This would be more enjoyable without the topping and maybe some Burley to spread out the flavor, but it shows the possibilities of light Latakia blends.
