Bought this from my local tinderbox on an employees recommendation. must say I am quite happy with this blend. The flavour is complex yet subtle with a leathery/peppery overtone as provided by the modest amount of latakia. seems to burn a tad on the hot side, but that may just be the way I'm packing it. Has an after-taste of walnuts and peppercorns which I find very pleasant.

I got a tin of this free from my favourite tobacco store and was blown away by how great it is. I am a fan of regular frog morton and found this to be on the same level. I really cant find any thing bad to say about it. Smokes very cool and has no bite and has a very great latika flavor as well definately recomend to everyone.

I got a free tin of this at he Chicago Pipe Show and was genuinely and happily surprised! Upon opening the tin you get a strong scent of Latakia. This blend has an almost McClelland type smell to it. First light brings instant pleasure. The Orientals are quite prominent,followed by luscious high grade latakia and sweet virginias. I was actally shocked tht this was an Altadis product. Far superior to most bulk blends and on par with many expensive tinned blends. If you like Artisan's Blend or Tashkent but cannot readily find them this, is a good substitute. Very much recommended for the heavy English crowd.

This is one of the better Altadis/Sutliffe offerings. A solid Balkan/English/whatever entry. A tasty smoke, room note that the girl friend likes and, most importantly, the Latakia makes its presence known, interplaying nicely with the Virginia and Oriental components. Indeed, a pleasant surprise that compares well to some of the more pricier blends of this type. Recommended.

I've been smoking a pipe for roughly 2 years now and I've only recently started experimenting with different types of tobacco. I started with aromatics for my wife's sake but I was never satisfied with the over-all taste, especially towards the end of the bowl.
Bosphorus Cruise is the 3rd English Blend that I've tried and my favorite so far. It starts out mild but if you smoke it slowly it definitely picks up flavor. As you get towards the middle of the bowl you can definitely start tasting the Oriental and the Latakia is present throughout the smoke which gives you a nice smooth smoke.
Overall I would consider recommending this to anyone who likes a mild English Blend and this is good for beginners like me.
