The mildly rich Cyprian latakia is smoky, woody sweet, and is the star component. The Turkish is smoky and woody with a little sweetness and a floral sour note in a support role. The black cavendish offers a light vanilla and sugar as it smooths out any potential rough edges, and does tone down the Turkish just a mite. I sense a light sweet topping, but am not certain of its characteristics beyond that. The nic-hit is a hair past the mild threshold. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns at a reasonable pace, cool, clean with a rather smooth, very consistent flavor from start to finish. Easily burns to ash, requires few relights, and leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl. The after taste is mild an pleasant. An all day aromatic English blend.

A pretty decent cross over blend ! I dont know what the mild flavoring/topnote is but it's done well . The Oriental and Latakia aren't overpowering and are about equal with the cavendish / flavoring depending on where you are in the bowl , meaning , sometime's I get a touch more of the english than I do the aromatic and visa versa . Smoked cool enough and dry . Basically , a good crossover . A couple others to try if you dig crossovers would be : IRC Dr. Bradley and McClellands Frog Cellar
