I read many of the reviews on this site before purchasing this blend and noted in particular the negative (sometimes bordering on hysterical) criticisms of its name by those proclaiming that this is not an English blend. Phrases like 'breach of the Trade Descriptions Act' being bandied about. Calm down.

Those making such complaints would have served themselves better by spending a minute or two on the maker's website where they would have observed that this is described as a 'subtle' blend. Subtle does not equate to bad, nor is it right to say this is not an English blend. It is.

A cool smoke, the Virginias and Burleys are to the fore, with Latakia and perique in the background. Some have spoken of a sweetness and some sort of casing, but to me it is the citrus of the particular Virginias that provides this.

All in all, a really pleasant, easy all day smoke. Very high quality tobaccos. The one negative that I would have to agree with is the room note which someone described as cigarette-like with which I would not disagree, but that in itself is not enough to demur from my 4 star recommendation. Lovely stuff.

I would compare Davidoff English to Dunhill's Nightcap (Murray's version) except that it lacks the same depth, mainly due to the lack of unflavored black cavendish to give the blend heft. The Perique element is also a little more pronounced here. A quality blend with a solid presentation for those who like the mid range English fare with a dose of Perique.

That's a very good quality tobacco.a low content latalia blend.when you open it you get the latakia but not very much.packs and lights easy.burns nice without getting hot.if you go slow you get mostly the nuts and spicyness .if you go hard you get some latakia.a nice blend to start your day but not to end it at late night.if you are into light english mixtures defenitelly try it!

As others have mentioned, this is a tobacco that defies categorization. Unfortunately, Davidoff falls prey to their own blend by trying to name it, and doing so inaccurately.

I smoked an entire tin of this and could never put my finger on what was in it. There's some extremely mild casing on top of the light virginias but it's so subtle that it eluded me. It's an enjoyable if somewhat mono-dimensional tobacco. It simply did not develop for me. What I tasted on the first light is what I tasted on the last puff. There's something very comforting in that and hence, I consider this a comfortable smoke that I've enjoyed and may go back to from time to time but not one that I'll rave about to others. If it were a little less pricy, who knows?

Davidoff - English Mixture.

There are a few arguments as to whether or not this is a true English blend, me? well I don't care if it's an English, Scottish, or from the planet Mars!! On with the review:

The first thing that'll bother a lot of folks is the price, I paid £18.20+post for it... ouch, for that money it had better be good!

The first thing to give credence to the price is the moisture in a freshly opened tin: not wet, not dry, perfect; I want more for my money than just that though!

On to the taste, I detect absolutely zero Latakia: no woodiness or smokiness. The flavour I get is a lot more of a VaBur/VaPer/ VaBurPer (I'll use that term again LOL!). I can taste a bit more than just a 'touch' of Perique from it like it says in the description, it actually seems very sharp at times. The Virginia gives more flavour in comparison to the Burley; this, again, is very mild.

The nicotine's only a little above mild from this, Mild to Medium would seem a fair value.

I stated how I paid the best part of £20.00 for this and wanted it to be worth it; is it good value? No, it's not worth that much money, not when there's loads of choices for around £12.00. If it weren't for the price I'd give it three stars, but considering the price of it two stars is what it's going to get.

Somewhat recommended.

The worst thing about this mixture is, beyond any doubt, the name. We're used to see English Mixture in tobaccos that've got a definite topping and sometimes a moderate casing, but naming English a mixture with a clear topping, no Orientals, almost no Latakia and no Virginias dominance is beyong anyone's imagination.

Anyway, this tobacco will hardly fit any categorization whatsoever. No casing for an aromatic and too much Burley for a VaPer, the closest one can think is a Scottish Mixture, mainly because this term has so many different definitions.

To the point: a very fine mixture with burley as the main leaf, nicely balanced with bright virginias, a good dose of perique and just a pinch of Latakia (around the same amount than Royalty), topped with some whisky. No tongue bite and good burning characteristics complete a solid pipe tobacco that can be enjoyed if one's mind is rid of categorizations.

This is a mid-morning smoke; there is no doubt, Burley forward. I saw an earlier review which compared this to Nightcap "without the depth" - which means Early Morning Pipe, folks. In fact, its EMP with just a touch more Latakia, and less Burley forward.

That Burley-bacci is the "cigarette" smell; it's not a bad thing: consider it analogous to using club soda in a mixed drink, rather than ginger ale. What Davidoff is doing is using a subtle leaf that doesn't get in the way of the light bit of very high-quality Cyprian Latakia (and, the smoke isn't too hot). The result is a medium bodied smoke which doesn't blow out your palate at noon.

If you are occasional smoker, don't waste time with Burley: you'll be happier sticking with VaPers or big Latakia, like Nightcap. Avoid aromatics as they burn too hot. BUT if you are an all-day smoker (the kind of person who said, "Yup" when I mentioned the problem with aromatics, a moment ago) then add this to your rotation as a mid-morning or EARLY afternooner.

I take morning classes, online, which start at 5:30 a.m.; so, I wake up with coffee and Early Morning Pipe. The next bowl, usually around 6, stays EMP...but, by 7 a.m. I've moved on to Davidoff English Mixture. It's nice until noon, when Seattle Pipe Club's Plum Pudding is pie. Then, whenever I get overwhelmed with the puddin', I move up to Seattle Evening and finish with Nightcap. It's a nice rotation for the Lat-lover, or the academic-type.

I think a lot of the lackluster reviews of this mixture come from a misleading name, and perhaps a bit of a steep price. Both are correct, it is more a mild Danish with only a faint hint of traditional English character that's maybe 20% more expensive than it should be.

But, it's also a very enjoyable smoke. I tend to like latakia forward English blends best, followed by milder Danish blends as my occasional "sweet tooth" crave. This scratches the Danish itch for me quite well really, I'll buy it again.

Subtly sweet and very mildly tangy, I enjoy this as a first smoke of the day. If you've already enjoyed a heavier smoke in a given day, you might miss the subtlety and calm presentation of this blend. Quality of the tobacco is top notch and I think where the price might come in (although Davidoff is generally an expensive mark, there's probably some "name brand" penalty too).

Forgetting the expectations of traditional English, and enjoying it as the first pipe of the day cast this blend in the right light for best enjoyment. It's actually a bit unique from just about any other "themed' blend, worth a shot.

Mr. Davidoff should give a raise for the guy who blended this, and fire the one who named this! That´s all!

I can´t tell what kind of mixture is this, it´s very excentric and unique, and also very good. The quality of the tobacco is top notch, but I can´t sense no latakia at all.

Very little Latakia. You might taste it two or three times during the course of a bowl. Can't taste any Burley. It smokes like a VaPer that is weak in Perique. On the upside, the Virginias taste pretty good. Mild to medium in body and flavor.

Virginia, burley,latakia and a touch of perique. Good tobacco quality with a slightly peppery but otherwise dull taste that remains long after smoking it and therefore not an everyday smoke. It burns well when packet correctly and does not leave residue significant of mentioning. As it is a "clean" tobacco it works well when blending it with Danish mixture or some of the other Davidhoff aromatics. I'll buy and smoke this on occasion but will mostly blend it with other aromatics that are too sweet to be smoked on their own.

I have to say this tobacco is a bit of a let down for me. On one hand it's a decent quality tobacco, on the other hand there's hardly anything special about it. It burns well, smells ok and seems to smoke cool....yet something is missing. There are no high notes nor does the taste experience change during the bowl. Flat might be a good way to describe it. Seeing it costs a bit more than other high quality tobacco's, I would pass this one by. There's just nothing remarkable about it. My tin is made in Denmark by the way.

This is a truly classic English Mixture. It is an attractive blend of light and dark tobaccos. There is a pleasant scent on opening the tin, the natural fragrance spiced with a tinge of latakia. It packs and lights easily and can be relied upon always to give a mild smoke, but never bland.

Obvious comparisons are with Dunhill?s best. This tobacco is perhaps somewhere in the middle between 965 and Nightcap, though to my palate the woodsy quality of the flavour seems superior. As with the latter, the blender has cleverly enhanced the recipe by the inclusion of a subtly distinguished seasoning of perique.

For the discerning connoisseur and newcomer alike, the secret to full enjoyment of this blend, like some fine wines, is to allow it time to breathe. It can be a little moist in the tin and I have found it best to decant the tobacco into an airtight jar and then leave it for at least a month to come properly to condition. Patience, a good pipe, and a little time set aside at any time of the day or a quiet evening to let the magic work - and you may be rewarded by the gentle pleasures this mixture has to offer. (Smoke it too moist and you will surely be disappointed.)

Davidoff English Mixture has a pleasant room note, according to the good lady (not dissimilar to Early Morning Pipe). It has become my constant companion on earth.

I appreciate this is more expensive and the negative reviews are most probably based around that . But if you want quality like this it won't be found next to clan in your supermarket. It's a wonderful tobacco .it reminds me of dunhill standard mixture medium. That creosote type smell. The davidoff however does have more small bits of stalk that have to be taken out but by no means is it a issue.from the tin it's ready to smoke and burns well with no bite and I am very sensitive to bite for some reason. It's not a heavy duty English it's a relaxing high quality and dependable one.to me the Johnnie walker black label of pipe tobaccos.velvet smooth.the room note is like cigarette smoke I must admit and there is somewhat of a cigarette taste .but as a ex cigarette smoker it suits me. There is a acrid taste in there. But it's good smoke that does the job well

The best comparison for this blend IMO is Esoterica's And so to bed. Has that similar fruit aroma from the tin. This is a good blend in it's own right. A very subtle blend. I don't pick up on any except the sweet soft Virginia. The flavor is very consistent all the way down the bowl. Burns cool and dry. A great introduction blend for someone wanting to try English blends without being a power house.

Moisture in tin is perfect. Very good smoking conditions. Basically it is a light, but not a traditional, classical English blend. In this sense the name of this blend is misleading. It’s more a kind of “Va/Bur/Per”. It can be a little harsh on the tongue if you draw too eagerly. Perique donates an obvious pepper aroma and very little fruit flavours. Bread and yeast notes from Virginia and nutty notes from Burley sparkle up occasionally. Latakia is extremely faint. Orientals, a must in a real English blend, are totally missing. Don’t look for complex tastes and deep flavours.

Even though I can single out each of the tobaccos, I find the blend lacks in harmony and determination. Unfortunately there is abundant artificial sweetness and other casing leaving some bitter traces. If Davidoff at all, I shall stick to their best, which is the Va/Per “Flake Medallions”; the only blend of the whole offer of this brand that I really like.

What to say about this? On opening the round tin (paper wrapping, cardboard lid duplicating the tin art) there is just a very, very faint tobacco scent. I get light prunes and figs, barely. The cut is of very, very fine ribbon. Moisture level seems to be on the dry side. Packs easy. Lights with one match, no relight necessary. Burns quick and hot;

You can tast the Perique at first but it goes away quickly, then comes the Burley, that also fades away and at the end the LAT. On finishing the smoke, latakia lingers on palate. Feels like I've smoked a far stronger and bigger LAT blend.

For me it's an okay blend that I will not buy again.

Very little Latakia. Nevertheless a very pleasant smoke with a non-agressive room note. Burns well to the end of the pipe only leaving a little grey ash at the end. I liked this Tobacco nevertheless it has not enough character to me to keep it in the regular rotation and on top it quite highly priced.

If you like Va/Per tobaccos, as I do, this is going to be a good blend for you. If you are a Lak'y, you might be disappointing. English blends, the way I understand them, should smell at least a little smokey. This doesn't. As someone else said, the true English blend offering from Davidoff (as I think of them) would be the Royalty.

Tasting Notes: nutty, raisins, no hint of artificial flavoring. Mild Virginia sweetness gets enriched by Latakia that never registers strong enough to be smokey, just adds a bakery note to the dried fruit of the Perique. Raisin bread!

This was the blend that turned me from a few-times-a-year-aromatic pipe smoker to an almost-everyday-Va/Per pipe smoker. Not because it is the best in any category but it opened my eyes (nose?) to the world of non-aromatics.

Love Royalty and Flake Medallions and will continue to smoke them from time to time as long as they're available. English Mixture is a very pedestrian tobacco in a very crowded arena and fails (IMHO, which being a review shouldn't need to be said) to justify being regarded as anything special. I found it a bit harsh and, hot and "un-English". The antithesis of its stablemate Royalty. In fact, the Latakia was hard to detect and the Burley tasted hot and bitter. Maybe just my tin but I think not. Probably just my taste. For many of you others, don't let me piss on your corn flakes. Enjoy it.

The first whiff from the newly opened tin prompted the thought that this was Royalty Light. Deep sniffs after a half hour of airing detected a faint figgish aroma in the background.

A disappointment in the bowl. Unless coming after a totally bland and charaterless blend, English Mixture does't taste of much. Yes, there is some very subdued oriental/latakia kind of presence, but not really noteworthy. Nor is this the gentlest misture on the tongue. Packing it firmly in a large pipe helps a bit. The tin declares it to be a medium aromatic, which leaves me totally confused because this is not an aromatic in either the American or the Continental use of the term. If by aromatic is meant the presence of turkish leaf, the presence is too mild.

The final disappointment is the room note. I am blessed with a family which adores the smell of pipe tobacco, but English Mixture drew negative comments. Cigarettish was the verdict, and I concur.

A hesitant two stars.

Sadly, the Oxford English Dictionary holds no definition of 'English Mixture', but devout pipe-smokers the world over know precisely what that should mean; Davidoff English Mixture simply doesn't measure-up. Here, in the UK we have the 'Trades Description Act' - a law designed specifically for protecting consumers from misleading advertizing - Davidoff sail close to the wind here.

How can a pungently sweet, artificially cased mixture - absent of orientals (with or without Latakia),such that it's almost un-noticeable in the background be regarded as an English Mixture.

No, no - smoke it for what it is (not bad at all - I've tried worse), but don't buy it for what it definetely is not!

I agree that this is not the best of the Davidoff line. It resembles, to a certain extent, Presbyterian Mixture and some of the 4 square Offerings. It is tasty, slightly astringent and piquant, with a pronounced Turkish flavor, though the Virginias are there alright. I don`t think there's any Latakia in this blend; if there is, it's basically anecdotical. English is not exactly a memorable smoke, and care should be taken because it can bite. However, this blend can be an interesting first tobacco for those new to the pipe or for those not yet familiar with the English/Balkan/Oriental melànges.

Happy New Year to everyone!

This is a mild tasting weed; a very good one to clean your bowl after smoking those heavy latakia blends we all like. The quality of the tobacco is impeccable, but it remains a mild tobacco. Doesn't burn too quickly, no risk of burning your tongue. It lights well and stays lit if packed properly. The cavendish is evident midway through the bowl and provides a very pleasant roomnote. I'd keep it around, even though it's a little more expensive than the average pipeweed.

Tin Aroma: Mild Latikia backed up by light VA's and cavendish.

Appearance: Long thin ribbons as with the Oriental mixture. Primarily light and dark browns with flecks of black.

Taste: Very flat, little to remark on, and no reason to recommend.

Burn: Takes light easily, but required a fair number of relights even when dry.

Davidoff’s English has a light touch. Was looking for something a bit different than Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve. Here, the Latakia spins gossamer webs of flavor that don’t overwhelm. That said, in the end I found the linger to be tinny and flat. Totally unlike Cornell and Diehls Tuggle Hall, which when smoked long delivers an exquisite linger. Davidoffs is among the worst I’ve tried. Recommend a large bowl, regardless.

My first several bowls seemed basic, seemed like nuiances of each tobacco. Good start to finish, pretty consistent. Almost finished with the tin now and I've received varying results from about the 1/2 tin mark. Really closer to a VaPer now with an occasional pronouced burley, no latakia. I'm not sure why, but it turned inconsistent. Its still good, but i don't know if i would call it an English.

I don't care what's the name, definitely it's a medium type English blend and I really love it. I was on the edge quit pipe smoking for 4-7 days in order my tongue to calm down after some Macbaren blends and this tobacco came to my mind. From the moment you start filling your pipe, the touch and the smell and the view of this tobacco makes everything seems right. Just one match and no puffing techniques in order to keep fire up. Rich bouquet of aromas and tastes in your mouth! NO tongue bites and NO tachycardia! Smooth smoking and light grey ash at the end... Definitely recommended!

Excellent tobacco. It’s rich, pungent, leathery, & fragrant upon opening the tin. I love sniffing it all the time. Reminds me of Dunhill’s 965 and The Craven Mixture. Easy to pack and light. The flavor is medium, rich, sweet, tangy, earthy, & pungent. No tongue bite. The room aroma is very pleasant for an English Mixture. I’m a fan of English blends and Dunhill blends. And this one is similar yet unique and refreshing at the same time, and I can’t put my finger on it... but it is a great tobacco along that genre. Highly recommended !

This tobacco is probably the second or third tobacco I bought. I didn't know about the naming conventions for different blends. I just said jokingly "oh, it's English, it must be good."

I read the reviews and how sour people were towards it, particularly over lacking "English" qualities. One of the motivations for trying an English blend was to see what people are actually saying.

Right now, I don't have thepleasure to re-review the opening a new tin, taking a whiff of the tin note, feeling how moist it came out of the tin. All I remember was that it was quite a new smell for me. My supply is a bit on the dry side now (figuring that leaving it in the tin is fine until I read about the need for immediately jarring tobaccos.) What I can do is review it now that I have more of a palate for different tobaccos.

Coming out of my jar, the cut is actually quite good. Packing is very easy in any pipe I put this in.

This is a mild blend. There is a little bit of smokiness to it and a bit of nuttiness. The Oriental flavours are there, appearing a bit in the background but it is not as heavy as other Englishes I had. In fact, I think the Orientals tend to appear slightly more going through the bowl. They are more of an accent to the flavour than anything.

I am finding that this actually tastes better in my billiard shaped bowls than the other ones I have. I think they sort of help emphasize the condimental features of the blend a bit more. I feel though there is nothing surprising about the taste. This can be good or bad. To me, its fine and I am happy to smoke this.

The room note is sort of like a toasty smell. I like the smell personally.

Overall, I think I could go out and get another tin (and I can fill in the rest of the details if I do!) At the same time, I will sort of have to agree with other reviews in the sense that it doesn't really stand out as an English mixture. If so, it is an extremely mild version of the blend type. Because of this, I am going to deduct one star, but still recommend it.

This is a very good english blend. I usually smoke Dunhill but actually think Davidoff are much better. From the beginning till the end of the tin, the taste were really the same : smooth, tasty, rather strong but not too much, etc. I don't know if it's the best tobacco I've tried (I'm not a good reminder) but it's surely one of the best. I can't make a complete review, I'm not gifted to. I just can tell you it's a very good tobacco to me. Obviously if you don't like latakia or perique, pass your way :)

This tobacco reminds me to Dunhill Royal Yacht but for me is not as strong like this. For me it is nearly an adequate substitute for my beloved no longer available Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture. Just worth a try for those who miss the Eliza. I´m glad having found it. Like other reviewers have mentioned it is no typical English Mixture with "Latakia taste and smell" but very satisfying. High quality stuff! Satisfaction is much depending of packing technique and pipe You are using. Best in small to medium sizes pipes due to medium cut. Very tightly packed when manufactured. Stir it up and let it air out referring to your preferencies after tin opening.

Smoke it "carefully" and You will enjoy it.

I agree that this is expensive - bought a tin at duty free at Singapore Airport and it was still significantly more expensive than tins of Peterson, Sam Gawiths and so on. I like it it: it has a pleasant raisin-like aroma, and is a pleasant smoke. There is a tendency to bite and it was perhaps a tad dry in the tin. Although I enjoyed it, with so many great tobaccos out there at a cheaper price, I'd be unlikely to buy it again.

What is 'english' about the blend? I agree with the previous review. The smell in the tin is difficult to attribute to anything special, without trying to find inappropriate equivalents. Smoking is not very interesting. I have added some Latakia (see my review about the Wellaer blend) and that was quite satisfactory. A disappointing blend from the firm. It would be better if they would use their 'special reserve' or other names to brand it rather than 'english blend' which is not very appropriate.

I must say this is not one of my recommended or favoured blends. I bought a tin of this from http://www.pipesandcigars.com to give it a shot. I have let the tin age out on the rack for about six months now, and it just has not gotten any better or any more interesting.

The leaf is cut nicely and packs quite well, but that is about all the positive feedback I can give. I am not sure how this tobacco qualifies to be an English blend personally. I detected very little Latakia (if any at all), but instead something that resembled a menthol casing.

It does burn quite cool, and leaves a pleasant room note, but I just can not get passed the menthol flavour it produces. The blend does not really change profile as it progresses through the bowl, and seems to just remain flat and uninteresting.

The tobacco was a bit soggy when I first popped the tin, so I put it on the rack for six months, and smoked a bowl from time to time. The leaf has dried out a bit, and behaves pretty well in the pipe, but still leaves a wide gap in my English tobacco needs.

I might say this would be a good choice for someone moving from aromatics to English blends, but I think I can recommend better blends for that especially at the price of a tin of Davidoff.

A very nice, cool, tasty smoke. Easy to pack, light, and is satisfying. The flavor doesn't really develop and is not too complex, but that's okay.

The burleys taste great, as do the Virginia's. The perique is a nice touch, though the Latakia is pretty much in the background. I don't care much for labels so I won't complain that it's not a "proper" English blend.

It is what it is - simply, a very high quality pipe tobacco.

"Traditional English Blend"?! I don't think it is. There is a bit of latakia, a bit of oriental and a bit of perique on a base which is mildly cased with something sweet. It's all just too mild. This tobacco may be recommended for very patient smokers with super-sensitive taste buds who are used to milder blends, I'm not one of them. Because of the high tempratures and tongue bite this releases while combusting it may be good for training your slow smoking technique. I only smoke it from time to time with my morning coffee, but I'm sure I'm not buying it again after the tin gets empty.

Tip: let it dry on a piece of paper for half an hour before filling your pipe.

First of all, the tin I bought is made in England now, so it says on the side of the lid. It seems to be a mixture of very light tobacco's, probably VA and a lot of orientals and a few black specs, could be latakia. I could discern no flavouring other than a slight menthol! This is not what I expect in an English mixture!! Why they call it an English is beyond me, other than that it is manufactured in England. With a proper English I expect a nice and full latakia VA and oriental blend. This is just very light tobacco's with hardly a flavour to it other than that menthol! It is overpriced as well and I find nothing to recommend it unless you like a very light and flat smoke.

P.s. As side note, I had a good look at ratcat's review and the poetry he uses to describe this mixture. He could have a point though, maybe I am not in the right frame of mind to find any worth in this blend, comparing it to other English mixtures which Davidoff clearly does not aspire to. Beauty in the eye of the beholder then?

This blend was not what I was expecting. The first bowl was very impressive, with a nice balance of flavour from the cavendish and the latakia. It burned fairly cool in a small-bowled pipe, and I was anxious to try it again. I was disappointed when this blend went from interesting to boring to nasty in the course of eight or ten bowls. The flavour of the cavendish took on a decidedly flat character, and the "aromatic" quality of the topping became cloying and unenjoyable. I have yet to find a Davidoff blend that I can confidently say is worth the steep price tag (this tin cost me the equivalent of $37 U.S. in Seoul, South Korea), but in my opinion Davidoff Royalty is similar to English Mixture with a more generous dose of latakia and a much milder casing. If this blend is the only thing in the store (like it was for me), I would recommend trying it out. Discriminating latakia fans, or even smokers who just don't like a lot of cavendish and a heavy, cheap-tasting topping, should probably look elsewhere.

One of the worst thing you can do for a product is to give it a wrong name. This is a perfect example. It is call English Mixture, there is nothing English about it. On the tin, it is printed, aromatic. There is nothing aromatic about it except when you suck too hard on the charring light, you do get a mild whiskey like aroma detected only by blood hounds and cranky pipers. The charring of the very first top of the bowl you taste nothing, no lakatia, no sweet virginia nor exotic orientals. But there is somethnig there. Thinking hum.....this stuff is expensive and so there must be something there. So you chase the dragon. And then colors came out. The flavor is like soemthing familliar but you cannot out a finger on it. The mixture seem to be speaking to you in a perfect harmony. Like a fine dish that is dedicated to balance, you taste herbs but not knowing what combination of herbs. And so the chase continues and you'd find different flavor coming out like water color, mild and delightfull. And just when the flavor begins to take shape, like the sweetness of virginias coming very close to the surface, it fades and other flavor peaks. Hiding from you like a violin melody surfacing up and then sink back down into the bottom counter point. This is a very subtle smoke and must be approached with a delicate mind. If one have been doing heavy stuff all day, smoking this would be pointless. If one expect "English" or "aromatic" also would bring disappointment. There is no nuttie hooks or fruity surprises. It is just one of the ways in which people can engage deep thoughts in. I smoke a tin of this every 2 months. Its greatest draw back, besides the name, is the price.

In the late 1990's I smoked this regularly. I smoked two bowls of this again this week. While described as an aromatic, I really don't taste or smell any casing in this tobacco except maybe the slightest raisin-y scent on first cracking a tin. Very light brown ribbon cut pressed in the tin (which is now about 3 yrs. old). Packs nicely, lights well. On lighting, the raisin or fig taste is apparent, but as it is smoked down the bowl the English blending takes over, and it reverts, for the last half, to the taste of a lighter and slightly sharp English blend. Not too much moisture, but a little bite if smoked quickly. I believe this has a touch of Perique, and the taste subtly reflects it. I enjoy this with a lighter Pilsner beer. For a stronger, more balkan/English taste, I've mixed this 50/50 with Ashton's Celebrated Sovereign. On the whole, a nice, lighter blend made with good tobaccos - very enjoyable and worth a try, even if a bit more expensive than some other tinned tobaccos. 8 out of 10. - Kelly

Having smoked the other Davidoff Blends and this si the last of the 8 available on Smoking Pipes, It is a solid English with nice spice and smokey flavor. It is pleasant with the Latakia being well blended with the touch of Perique. Not harsh or with... any bite. Packs well, good moisture out of the tin. There is a sweetnes (very sbutle) to this blend. The Latakia is the star here without be so strong that it becomes a pure Latakia foward task. I do prefer the Royalty as it has more flavor.

NOT REVIEWED YET A traditional English middle-cut (a little wider than ribbon) blend of Virginia, burley and latakia, with a touch of perique spice tobacco added to further enhance the bouquet. This is a mild blend rich in tobacco flavors and backed by a touch of spice.

There was no indication of a production date on the tin, but the excise stamp indicated Q3 2017, and the look of the smoking hazard stickers matched the period to 2018. So I'm guiding for the second half of 2017.

Appearance: a mixture of very thin ribbons of almost monochromatic light brown shades with occasional flecks of darker color. Moisture from the can - a little dry, perhaps, but the consistency was not affected, the tobacco is of sufficient quality. Despite the claim to be an English blend, there is very little latakia in the tobacco.

Flavor: a distinctive coffee note framed by oak bark, sour plum, pepper and nut, plus a subtle smoky, tannic accent. No halftones, no complex flavors, everything is quite simply decomposed into component parts - here's the burley, here's the virginia, here's the perique. And the traces of latakia flavor correspond to the tiny amount of it which I have found while examining the tobacco.

Taste: The ingredients are almost the same as the flavor. There is the taste of coffee, prevailing on the general background, a fair amount of spicy perique (which would be more suitable for some Va/Per, and which, however, does not overlap the coffee note), plum sourness, a little sugar, a little nut, there is even a bit of tar and smokiness from the latakia... There is only one "but" - all this absolutely does not expression. The taste is straight, but doesn't add up to a nice overall bouquet. I have tried this blend in several different pipes, but the result was always the same. The first comparison that came to my mind was "someone dipped a smoldering oak log in a liquid weak sour Americano with pepper and a drop of nut syrup". Certainly a bit rude, but there was no other in my mind at the time. Over time, the peppery note degenerates, the tobacco gets a little more sweet - and turns into a completely faceless mixture, vaguely reminiscent of English. This blend smokes evenly, moderately hot, burns quickly enough into a light gray ash with some darker fractions, and leaves no moisture in the pipe. The strength is somewhat below average, nicotine hit is not threatening even in a large pipe. The aftertaste has a sweet and grassy undertone.

The smoke is woody and nutty, with no hint of smoky latakia, easily dispersed.

What's the result? A second blend from Davidoff - and seemingly a second blank shot. But what's interesting: the manufacturer's website describes the tobacco as a "subtle English blend," and I find that description quite accurate. The blend cannot be called "bad". It just doesn't have its character. It is nothing. Perhaps it would suit a newcomer to the world of English blends, so he would not be scared by the force of the latakia. But a person who really likes English blends is likely to pass it by.

Out of the tin smells like a campfifre. Once in the pipe I can detect some spicy flavours, probably from the latakia. Nicotine for me is quite high. Does not bite. Although is a nice blend as all Davidoff's blends, is by no means, one of my favourites.

Go ahead, I am amused by the name of this mixture, a sample of fine irony on the part of the person who baptized it. Beyond labels and the greater or lesser fortune of its name, it is a pleasant tobacco to smoke. Latakia is far less noticeable than, say, in the Early Morning Pipe, to name a tobacco it has been compared to, but the ingredient is there. You won't find it all the time, but it won't be absent either. Labeling it is difficult: I don't think it can be qualified as a va / per or as a va / bur, nor ... It's just English Mixture.

To be honest, I don't know what's meant by "English" when it comes to pipe tobacco, my studies in the matter are yet to take me that far into the subject. However, considering my 50g tin cost me almost half as much again as my favourite smokes, I was hoping for a smoke good enough to blow my gentlemans bits off (sorry to be so crude). However, like the sordid little grief hole that is their Green Mixture, Davidoff have dropped the ball once again.

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice tobacco, the slightly sweet, fruity, sultana scent from the tin is a pleasant one. Even the feel of the ribbon on the fingers is nice. Smoking the stuff follows on in a similar vein, giving hints of a half decent port on top. The room note isn't fantastic, but is pleasant enough, so is the general lack of tongue bite.

On the whole then, not a bad smoke, I just wonder how on earth Davidoff can justify the extra price. It's like paying for Bolinger and getting a decent Chardonnay, what you get is good, but you deserve so much better for your money.

More "hint of latakia" than typically English mixture, but I have learnt that Davidoff blends can be subtle/conservative.

This blend might be a good choice if you are curious about latakia, but not ready to commit to something where latakia is dominant.

This is all good, because this blend offers more than just a hint of latakia. There are tastes and nuances to be discovered here, and this tobacco might grow on you unexpectedly.

Although this is a very well-balanced blend, I don't find myself getting excited about it. It has a lot to offer, and I certainly recommend it, but I don't see myself smoking it that often.

A mild, easy smoking blend. The taste is simple, balanced, and neither requires nor benefits from much attention. A good choice for a car ride, as the room note is quite pleasant. Overall, a good tobacco. Not a great tobacco, but worth trying if you can find it at a decent price.

I purchased this blend from Cigar Emporium it stated being the Traditional English mixture. Now me being from California and never setting a foot in England I wouldn't know what a Traditonal English blend is like but this one wasn't....too bad. The perique kind of got in the way for me and the latakia is rather slim. My twin brother likes this blend a lot but for me it needs a little more of something.

It's not a bad tobacco; I really wanted to enjoy this one But the truth is I like GL Pease Maltese Falcon and Westminster better. Perhaps if they switched the amount of latakia and perique that would do the trick. I would recommend this blend for fans of VaPers. It might be a little too full for new smokers.

Update; against my better judgement I notice that I quit often grab this a a first smoke of the day. Maybe I'll buy some again :) bumped up to 3 stars...

I bought a tin in december 2009 and opened it straight away. I love Royalty, rate it 4 stars and could not believe Davidoff offering a tobacco as bad as English Mixture was being reviewed on this forum.

The tinnote was so sickeningly sweet and the taste so bad I put this tin in my "Not-Box". Now, in the middle of march I have experienced that several tobacco's I initially did not like became much better after they stood around opened and unsmoked for some weeks. So I decided to give English Mixture another chance.

The horrible tinnote has disappeared and now I smell almost pure tobacco with still a slightly sweet overtone I cannot recognise. Almost ok by my standards.

The tobacco looks great but is a bit sticky to the touch. Smoking it however is quite enjoyable and a good morning smoke.

Would I buy it again? Yes, but only if my favourites are unavailable... It is good to know a back-up tobacco exists.

This is a somewhat perculiar blend. Despite of what the tin says I can't help but to raise an eyebrow to the tin description of this being a traditional English mixture. It bears some resemblance to English mixtures, sure, but to me it fits more in the realm of the Danish blends than anything else. That being said, it is still an excellent mixture, and I see no reason to disqualify it in any way because of that.

It takes a little getting to know before you figure out what's going on with it. It's quite obviously cased, someone suggested a liquor of some sort. Not at all impossible, but either way it's nothing that detracts too much from the experience.

So bottom line: a good, very palatable English/Danish cross-over blend. Mild in strength, but rich enough to keep things interesting. Burley is very pronounced in this one. The virginias are a little anonymous, though, can't really put my finger on them.

I read somewhere that there's a pinch of perique in this blend, too, but if it's there, it's a very small pinch. The latakia is also very sparingly used, which I personally don't object too much to.

My local tobaccoshop has all the Davidoff brands and I must say, the English Mixture has to be my alltime fav. This tobacco, of impeccable quality, is one of the best ever made. "Why?", one may ask. Well for me, this is the only tobacco that has so many flavors comming together in perfect harmony. The first few puffs are...in every way brilliant. Then, the full body comes out. aah yes...it builds up slowly bringing out...mmm yes that lovely cavendish tast... The two reviewers before me, Ratcat and Pipeweed have spoken wisely...
