Park-Lane Tobacconist Knightsbridge
(3.29)
A zesty mix of Bright, Red and Lemon Virginia tobaccos, blended with the Turkish tobacco Smyrna, which lends it's noticeable taste and irresistible aroma. A generous addition of Cyprian Latakia adds it's smoky top note, and a small measure of Perique is added to round out the blend and add to it's spicy finish. A full bodied but not overpowering English mixture.

There is a group (Not All, and I enjoy many of them) of McClelland English blends that seem to become almost indistinguishable from each other. Park Lane, using a lot of McClelland tobaccos, and offering a large number of “house” made English blends too, suffers with this issue with their Knightsbridge blend. I really enjoy many of the Park Lane English blends, and Knightsbridge is a decent blend, but not a standout from the others. Nor do I find the similarity to Penzance with Knightsbridge that others have described as the flavor of the Latakia is that of McClelland and not Esoterica (Germain). I think that most will find this to be a pleasant, straightforward, non-complex English blend that offers billows of cool burning smoke. But it feels too redundant at this point and given some of their other standouts, there are others in the Park Lane lineup that I would choose first.
