Paul Bonacquisti is certainly a great pipe maker, and after trying An Aperitif, I've decided he's not too bad in the kitchen either. His blending technique with this one showed a restraining hand on all of the elements. It was really spicy sweet in that Oriental sort of way and also gravitated toward the Orient in the strength department. I may enjoy stronger smokes (franky, without the inclusion of the Latakia I would, at times, think I was smoking hot air), but with a slow puffing cadence, the blender's hopes came alive. Nice stuff!

This is one of five blends in PL's English Sampler #4.
A nice light English. The Latakia and the Orientals have a nice balance. The Virginias as a mildy sweet base. Not sure what the Black Cav is doing other than hiding from me. Pleasant to smoke in the morning with a mug of hot black coffee.
