James Fox Campanile
(2.88)
A blend of Virginian and flavoured with pure Turkish leaf. It embodies absolutely no black tobaccos and is a blend which is delightfully smooth and sweet down to the last shred.

I am very enthusiastic about Oriental Mixtures. This is the Standard by which all others should be judged.An amazing melding of fragrant Turkish tobaccos and aged, cool smoking Virginias. I detect no Latakia in the blend. It is easy however, to see why some people might think that there is Latakia present.The blend is so rich in flavor and is so satisfying one might question how it could be done w/o the mother of all condimental leaf. This is better , yet similar to Presbyterian Mixture which also contains no Latakia. A fine, rich, and satisfying mixture for the piper who appreciates the classic mixtures. 4 of 4 stars!

I have always been partial to oriental blends, and have recently found that my palate has been telling me that I don't like as much latakia as I used to. I therefore started on a search for a tasty oriental blend with little to no latakia. After reading the reviews on this site, I ordered a tin of J.J. Fox's Campanile (some of my favorite tobaccos are Dorisco Mixture, and Durbar).
Campanile did not disappoint.
The awesome Virginias used in this blend, along with the high quality turkish give such a wonderful natural tobacco flavor and room note. This tobacco is tasty, tasty, tasty. It is unlike any other tobacco I have ever tried.
This has become my "if I could only have one tobacco" blend, although Fox' "Dorisco Mixture" is a close second.

Campanile is a sumptuous blend of delicious Virginias and glorious Orientals. It is an excellent morning, afternoon , evening, anytime smoke: though it will not make much of an impact if smoked after a Latakia laden blend. The mouth feel is gorgeous. It is subtle, and therefore , in my opinion, more likely to appeal to the experienced pipe smoker than to a new comer. In the same genre as Davidoff`s Royalty and Rattray`s Number 7 Reserve, and less characterful - and less mouth scorching - than Red Raparee. Rich smoothness is all.

I've enjoyed Campanile for quite some time, but never smoked it as much as other, more famous blends. There are just so many high quality blends available that time constraints preclude me from enjoying them all on a regular basis. Recently, I stumbled across the perfect application for it- it has replaced Momoyama (no longer available, and a precious single tin left) in my rotation. This may seem odd, given the lack of similarity of the blends. They do, however, share an ethereal perfume that satiates my need for an occasional aromatic, without mucking up my pipes.
Campanile is a light-colored, easygoing smoke with subtlety and complexity worthy of a Pease blend. Gorgeous.
