Pleasant but very mild taste, with none of the various components up-stage.
The cut is various, from thin ribbons to big hard lumps.
Burns well to a fine ash. No trouble keeping it lit.
Advertized components are "black cavendish, burleys, perique, latakia and Orientals." The black cavendish predominates, and keeps everything else in the background. Do I detect a bit of vanilla? Every now and then a puff of burley comes through.
It will not be my all-day smoke, but it might suit someone else for that.

Light English? Aromatic English? I cant decide, I just know that this is one fine English blend that never loses my interest. I love the smokiness of the blend, lots of smoke like any proper English and the smoky room note is pleasant as well. Not only did I have a great English blend, I had an English blend with something more. Something sweet was added that I really cant identify and whatever it is ,it is not overpowering nor do I think it was added to mask an English blend but to enhance an English blend. Overall this is something I would smoke a few days a week and have multiple bowls of it those days.
