Newminster No. 52 Ultimate English
(2.88)
Tobacco selection: The blend we make with the most Latakia gives smokiness to the taste and combined with some excellent Virginias from USA and the finest Oriental out of Turkey makes this a very satisfying smoke.

The Virginia has a little citrus and is fairly grassy/hay-like, forming a base for the other components. The smoky, woody, lightly sweet Cyprian latakia plays a medium role with some richness. The Orientals have a little spice, some wood and smoke, and a few dry sour notes in an important back up position. The nic-hit is mild to medium. Burns cool at a slightly more than moderate pace, and kind of smooth with a little inconsistent flavor. Has a real sour note toward the end. Requires few relights, and leaves a light dampness in the bowl. Won’t bite or get harsh. Has a nice after taste and a pungent room note. It’s not far from being an all day smoke. More of a two and a half star blend.

I have to disagree with some of the other reviews as I do not find this blend harsh at all. It is a very well blended tobacco with the Orientals up front. Not complex, but very tasty if you are an English fan. Funny how tastes differ as I have found many C&D blends on the harsh side. Ultimate English is a winner in my book and I will be ordering more.
