John Patton Dark and Stormy

(3.22)
Dark and Stormy is John Patton's Storm Front blend with Latakia added, which results in a masterful new blend that adds English dimensions of depth to round out the flavor, without overwhelming the cube-cut Burleys.

John Patton - Dark and Stormy.

The blend isn't that coarse, really, it just looks like a standard ribbon. It's a medium shade of brown with a few light and dark specks.

The Latakia really makes this blend: it gives a good smoky/cedar note that's the leading taste. The Cigar Leaf isn't too pushy, it has more of a richness as opposed to a caustic cigar flavour. The Burley gives a good nuttiness, but again, this isn't too formidable. The only added taste I get is a VERY delicate perfume/floral one, but this is extremely light. The burn's steady and the smoke doesn't bite me at any time.

The nicotine's quite medium, and the room-note (to finish on a low point) is too much for me: lots of aroma and plumes of smoke.

This isn't bad, it just isn't one for me.

Somewhat recommended.
