Very satisfying...This has made my rotation as an all day English blend...Not overpowering in any department...Very interesting and a joy to smoke.

This tin was given to me by a tobacconist for free as a gift after a purchase. I have smoked Molto dolce before and was pretty satisfied with it. This is my first Latakia blend from SPS. I really liked it. it was an easy smoke. a bit moist out of the tin so a bit of drying was necessary. one thing I noticed was that the tin was not evenly blended. it seemed that each bowel had more or less of a particular tobacco. I shook the tin up but still had a different smoke each time which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. all in all, for the price, (at retail not free) I will buy more. give it a try if you are into Latakia/English blends.

I am very new to pipe smoking (about 1 year) and mostly i go with the "bulk" jar at my local tobacco store, BUT like any true smoker i am always on the hunt for the perfect smoke. I ran acrose this blend in a sampler on "cigars international" and having never had a english mixture/blend i ordered it. I have a Tendency to smoke to fast so i almost always get tongue bite but with this blend it is little to none. when I first smoked it i did not care for the taste so i tossed it aside and went on to one of the other blends. about a week or two later i came back to it and from opening the can and letting it sit it had became smooth and the flavor while strong was nolonger over powering. with a deep draw you taste the cream small hints of spice. over all I enjoy this blend and will more than likly pick up another can down the road

I am a beginner with English blends, but really enjoyed this one. The latakia was not overwhelming and the perique was just spicy enough to be noticed. I can only compare it to Dunhill 965 which is a little strong for my palate but Bershire was just right.

I love English blends, and this has become one of my favorites. The smoking quality is first rate. It lights well, burns cool, and does not need frequent relights. The taste is full and satisfying for me. The Latakia taste is good and does not overwhelm. It has never disappointed me, and I find that I can smoke this blend throughout the day in any pipe I put it in. I first tried it as a sample tin from the Chicago 2012 Show, and have been smoking it and re-ordering it ever since.
