The floral, woody, earthy, dry and sour, fairly spicy Orientals are the lead component. The earthy, mildly grassy, citrus and dark fruity Virginias play a strong supporting role. Even though Cyprian latakia isn’t listed as an ingredient, I notice a smoky, woody quality in the background that I normally associate with that varietal, so I’m claiming a pinch or two is present. The strength is a step or two short of medium. The taste level is just short of medium. The nic-hit is almost in the center of mild to medium. Won’t bite and has no harsh spots. Burns slightly warm and very clean with a consistent spicy, savory and mildly sweet flavor all the way to the end. Easily burns to ash. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasant, lightly lingering after taste. Can be an all day smoke.

My first venture in unaltered tobaccos. i loved the sweetness of the Vas and slight spiciness of the Orientals.
It is a pity that Dobie's Four Square blends are discontinued!
Apparently they have been replaced by Caledonian, also now discontinued, but Caledonian was not similar to Four Square.

I believe this is the blue tin.
A rather light blend, on the spicey side, containing a small portion of Latakia.
Even as I was starting the English blends, i found it a bit too mild after half a tin or so.
An ideal english blend to start off with but, as I said previously, I think Four Square has been discontinuated and replaced by the Caledonian line.
But it could only be an urban legend.
