I picked up a couple of tins of this at a local tobacconist because it was dated September 2000, and was under 10 bucks a tin. If there ever was any Latakia in this, it has long ago taken a back seat to the cased tobaccos in this mixture, which presented scents of honey and vanilla. At first I decided I did not like it, but as I continued to smoke this mixture, it grew on me. The Virginias definitely come through, and the casing is mild enough to complement the blend nicely. I like this as a late morning smoke, and it is very mild, leaving behind a pleasant room note. Do not buy this if you are expecting an English blend, as it is sure to disappoint if you do.

I concord with TheGerman and Doc'spipe. This is a good light modern english blend, with an elegant sweetness and easy to handle. I appreciate it.
