I disagree with the description that this is a full blend. It's medium in regard to the taste level. The Oriental/Turkish spice, earth, wood, herbs,and light butter and dry sourness are the star flavors with Cyprian Latakia playing a back up role with smoky, woody, earthy, sweet notes. The Virginia is tart and tangy citrus sweet with a little grass and earth as the base of the blend. The nic-hit is a couple of steps past the mild threshold. The strength is in the center of mild to medium. Won't bite or get harsh, and has few rough edges. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent, mildly sweet and savory, spicy flavor. Has a short lived, pleasant after taste, and stronger room note. Not quite an all day smoke. The creamy texture of taste reminds me of a milder, little spicier version of MacBaren's HH Vintage Syrian with less Latakia, and lack of body and depth. It's a two and half star product, but I rate it at two because of its shortcomings.

Kramer's Pipe and Tobacco - New Mix.
The mix contains a few too many twigs for my liking, is an even split of black and browns, and has a decent moistness.
The initial part of a bowl is easily dominated by the Latakia, and is quite bitter. But it improves a little as it burns down. The Orientals gradually creep in becoming more notifiable, and rounding the flavour some more: earthy and woody. The Perique and Virginia are light, very light, struggling to compete with the Latakia and Orientals. The heat isn't too bad, but it has a propensity to bite me.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: quite heavy.
It improves a 'little', but that won't get it any more than two stars:
Somewhat recommended.

While it appears to have the same genetic makeup as Blend for Danny Kaye (minus the Irish Mist), its pouch aroma has a more Perique forward aroma, and the Latakia appears to have a bit more punch.
This blend seemed to have the twigs and leaf chunks that everyone claims to find in Kramer blends. In my 4oz order, I found less than half dozen of the said items. Still.
Moisture on par with most all Kramer blends. Packed lightly as the others, will get you the best performance.
Initial lighting is easy as it gets. Blend starts off with a woody and slightly toasty flavors. The Perique here is much more prevalent in the nose and on the palate than Danny Kaye. Burns clean and cool, but the mouth feel is a bit dry. This blend seems a bit flat and somewhat monotone throughout the smoke. It's not a dud by any means, but its no bell ringer either. I do prefer Danny Kaye more though!
If you want to smoke a part of Hollywood history, by all means give it a go!
