Edward's Catalina
(3.67)
Choice burley and Virginia tobaccos, and a touch of toasted cavendish are blended together in this mixture to give you rich java taste. The flavor and aroma are as robust as your "first cup" in the morning.

Oh, another old favorite. A relatively new Edwards blend; it came out in the late 80's I believe. It is mainly burley, with some virginia, and toasted cavendish. But dry. It has a slight chocolate/coffee essence. At least that's what I was told then. No sprays; no junk; no glycerin; no goo. Just a wee cc-g (their chocolate essence -- burley exposed to chocolate scents and used as a blender) plus another. Just delightful ribbons of good taste.
I remember how fond I was of this and I miss it now as I read the new reviews. I will order some more. Ready too smoke off the shelf (been aged by Edwards about a month or so, just right). No need to cellar.
I smoked this one blend exclusively in several pipes, for years. The chocolate and high quality smoke took me in. Smooth; steady burning; easy packing; no bite. A fine blend. I got away from it later in the 90's for just Scottish Moor, then the tobacco explosion of matured virginias took over.
Assuming the same quality tobaccos and essence technique are in use by Edwards (last time I smoked Scottish Moor a year ago they were), this blend is a surprise for you. For an aromatic burley lover, but should suit almost anyone but a balkan vampire. Highly recommended.
