The Virginias provide a little tangy dark fruit, earth, wood, bread, sugar, mild tart and tangy citrus, grass, and vegetation along with light spice and floralness as the lead components. The musty, mildly sweet Cyprian Latakia offers secondary support rather than being a full supporting player. Its aspects include smoke, wood, floralness, and a small spice note. The strength and nic-hit are in the center of mild to medium. The taste is a step ahead of that. No chance of bite or harshness, and barely has any rough edges. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a mostly consistent, mildly smoky sweet flavor that extends to the pleasant, short lived after taste. The room note is a tad stronger. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. An all day smoke designed to appeal to those who want a light Latakia presence. The lack of depth makes it a two and a half star production.

To say that Fribourg & Treyer's 'Waterloo No.2 Mixture' is the best German pipe tobacco that I have smoked (which it is) is not saying much. All German weed that I have puffed has a harshness that is bloody nauseating. It is this same factor that causes a knot feeling in my throat--a consistent feeling with German offerings. Without this harshness (and with this product is it the least harsh of any DE rope), this would easily be a 3-star tobacco. As it stands, though, I cannot go beyond two (even with the great billows of smoke this produces). 'Waterloo No.2 Mixture' is worth a try, but not worth keeping around.

Fribourg & Treyer - Waterloo No.2 Mixture.
The hydration's good, the same size tin as Dunhill now use aids decent smokeability. The aroma from the tin seems a little light for a Latakia/Virginia.
Without doubt the Virginias account for the primary flavour. At first the Virginias completely smother the Latakia, it takes a while to be able to identify any Latakia. At no point is the Lat' a 'driving force', at best it gives only a delicate woody-smokiness, but, that delicate note is just enough to attest its presence. On the negative side of things it can burn too warm and fast, so it necessitates a gentle technique. It can bite.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: pleasant to tolerable.
Waterloo No.2? Would make a good entry blend into the English field. For my palate, though, I want much more from a blend containing Latakia. Two stars:
Somewhat recommended.
