A mildly sweet English blend for the smoker who wants a mild to medium smoke. The spice, dryness, and lightly butteriness from the Oriental/Turkish is mild as is the Cyprian latakia, which adds a little smokey, woodsy quality. Most of the sweetness comes from the cavendish, thought I suspect an extremely mild topping is present. The nic-hit is mild. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a consistent taste all the way through. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires few relights. Has a pleasant after taste and is an all day smoke. Even though I rate it at two stars (mainly for the lack of flavor depth), I'd rate it a three as an entry level English.

I get the same dusty/dirty taste from this Lat as I did in Father Dempsey. It's not as bad here though. Obviously my taste buds and Kramer's blends aren't going to get along very well. Luckily, I have only one more to do after this.
At first the Cav leads with some sweet hay. Some of the sweetness seems like an addition. The Lat is light, but gets more obvious as the bowl progresses and eventually overtakes the Cav. The Orientals lend a little sour wood to the background. I don't find it as bland as Father Dempsey which allows me to go 2 stars on this one.

Kramer's English blend is comprised of rough cut ribbon that shows very little dark flake. Considering that there is both Cavendish and Latakia in the blend, it is simply to light for me as an English even though I am not looking for a Latakia bomb either. The tobacco is of good quality and only slight too moist, so it only takes a few short minutes to dry. This blend is for those that like the very lightest of English mixtures.

A somewhat "standard English". Mild and slightly sweet with a noticeable but not overpowering latakia, there is also a kind of flavouring (hint of maple?) in the background. A nice but not great English which lacks a bit in depth. If a bit dried out it tends to burn hot when not puffed gently.
For the sake of tradition a must try, but honestly, there is better stuff out there.
