All three components have roughly equal influence on the overall flavor. To my taste the Orientals hold a very small lead. It's a little more sour than sweet and there is a mild harshness that becomes more than mild if your pace is too quick. Not my cuppa tea, but it's not an offensive smoke.
Mild to medium in body. Medium in taste. No added flavoring. Burns very well.

A mild flavored burley blend with some slightly sour acrid tones. Not enough flavor for my tastes to make it interesting, at all. Smokes cool enough if smoked slowly. There are far too many better burley blends available to spend more time with this one.

Lunchtime Blues gave me the “blues”. I don’t get much when it comes to flavor. I get some burley, but it is very muted. As I continued to search for flavor, maybe I sense a little Virginia. Maybe it is this Virginia, or Orientals, that dilutes the flavor, but it doesn’t add anything, just leaves a bland lackluster taste. The sample I have was pretty dry, burning easily with few, if any, relights. As a conclusion, if I was going to compare this with a beer selection, it would be the “Bud Light” of burley based tobaccos.

i wish i could write something more interesting but IMO here we have a simple tobacco for all day smoke, a good "go-to" tobacco when you are looking for something light and easy, definitely not strong, really low in nicotine, doesn't bite at all, good humidity which makes it burns well, delivers what is expected from it but it´s not my cup of tea.
