Well, I will spoil the whole review for you. This is a very nice tobacco, and yet do not believe the tin description.
I have tried Bentley tobacco before, and it's a surprise that they promote a full english blend. With focus on Latakia. Their tin description even says "A generous addition of Latakia". And just off the tin tone, that is true. When you open the tin, you are welcomed by an aroma of Latakia, unmistakable, prominent and promising. It has a beautiful dark colour and the ribbon cut is perfected. So it is easy to pack, with just enough moisture to be called perfect. It lights easily and stays lit. From that point on, You can rarely get any Latakia. The aroma still promises latakia, and there is a faint taste of latakia in it. But nothing more. No nicotine kick, and no Lat-Bombs as latakia smokers call it. Just a nice, smooth and quite mild english blend, with just the least latakia to claim it is an english blend. It is nice if you like Early morning pipe, but it isn't something special. And definitely, Dan Tobaccos folk need to review the wording of "Generous" on the tin
