John Aylesbury - Finest British.
Another from a recent trade with Gentleman Zombie!
As I've said on previous John Aylesbury reviews, Franck sent me a few blends in loose pouches, so there isn't too much moisture like there could be in a sealed tin. It's about 50/50 black and brown, and although the mix includes a few chunky pieces, the majority's quite slight in build.
I get a good flavour of Latakia, stronger for the first quarter. Then, the Kentucky and Turkish join in, filling out the smoke. The Virginia gives a subtle sweetness, and a delicate sprightliness. On a whole, I find it fuller tasting than my fellow reviewers do; prominently a Balkan/English Lat' taste. The smoke's below medium in temperature, and 100% bite free throughout.
The nicotine's medium, and the room-note's quite nice.
For me, Finest British is a three star blend.
Recommended.

This is a very nice smoke. Smoky, woody and nutty with just a touch of sweetness. I usually prefer a little more sweetness, but this taste just fine without it. Very smooth and pleasant on the retrohale. Nice cool burn with few relights. I think any Kentucky fan will appreciate this blend.

A solid, quality smoke. No fireworks but plenty of light mellow taste. The Latakia is not heavy but nicely balenced with the other tobaccos. I think a nice starter blend for the novice to try out English mixtures and a good basic English smoke for the veteran. Sometimes basic is a good thing.
