House of Calabash Irishman's 5 O'Clock
(3.80)
This is very much a Balkan style blend, resembling the old Balkan Sobranie 759. This Mixture is heavy in Turkish and Latakia, and some Oriental as well. For those of you looking for a good English style blend, this is the one to try.

Edit* *8-6-16 I'm going to have to knock down my rating a couple stars. It may be that this blend doesn't age too well or that my tastes have changed but this one just tastes flat to me now. I actually (for the first time ever) threw the rest of it away in a potted plant where I dump all my pipe dottle. I love some other Books blends (7 of 9 being my favorite) but I won't be buying more of this stuff. It went from Essential to Meh in the past few years since I first reviewed this blend.
