A mild and smooth English/latakia blend. The latakia is sprinkled in nicely: not overdone yet always present. The virginias taste good, and the cavendish lends a smooth, sweet bottom to the flavor. No tongue bite.

A good smoke for someone new to English blends. The blend doesn't distinguish itself from all the good, let alone great, english blends out there, but it is still a solid and enjoyable smoke. Basically, I would be happy to smoke through another bag but I'm not motivated to go and actually buy one.

From a "must see/visit" venerable, old tobacco shop in Harvard Square, if you are in the area of course!
