This used to be one of my favorite blends. It was a great strong and unigue English, much akin to the Rattray, Cotton, & Sobranie mixtures. Recently it was changed, and now it..uh..sucks. It would seem that they let the leaf quality fall substantially, and may have even changed varietals of Oriental leaf. The persistent exotic flavor the Izmir used to infuse this blend with was gone, replaced with a rather bland Camel taste. The Latakia went from dry and rich tasting to a steamy, weak, 3rd class cyprian type (the kind usually reserved for keeping bugs out of the garden). All in all, this is took a huge dive and I will not waste further pipe time on it.

This is a great outdoors tobacco. With it's smooth and sweet delivery this makes for a wonderful all day tobacco. It stays rich and heavy but doesn't ever get overwhelming. It's too bad that they are discontinuing this in the states, I went down and bought the last tin my tobaccanist had on stock. The cost is a little high but worth it. This blend needs to be dried out just a tad, however this is the only bad thing I can think to say about it. The cut lends itself to easy packing and it stays lit well. Hurry and get some before you have to import it!
**UPDATE** I had to come back and lower my rating after opening up a recently bought tin of this. I believe they have drastically lowered the quality of leaf in this blend and it is a d@#$mn shame! It now tastes like an out of control fireball. I will not buy it again.
