Although I liked the aromatic version just a bit better as I really enjoyed the mysterious flavoring, the Douwe Egberts House Regular was still a tongue tingler and I sure wish I could get it on a regular basis. It would definitely be one of my staples. For those of you who have had the pleasure of smoking the old Dunhill blend, Ye Olde Signe, this one is actually quite similar. It has a fine shag cut, is packed tightly and smells rather unpretentious before lighting (and after, as a matter of fact). Unlike Ye Olde Signe, the moisture content, despite 20 or so years in the tin, was still quite high in this one, yet it needed no drying out. A burst of deep, dark Virginia flavor overwhelms at first light, but then settles into a stately smoke of old world dark Virginia flavor that can't be found nowadays. The flavor is semi-sweet, and packs a nicotine wallop. It doesn't left hook you, but does slap you around a little. I guess I like being slapped around because I really like everything about this blend.
