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.

Wish I could've tried the old version because this one has less value than used toilet paper. Definitely has Latakia, in fact, in a cob it's about all I can taste. The only thing I get from the other two components is a funky tasting tang and a bare hint of sweetness. I can't say that I care for this one at all.
Mild to medium in body and taste. Can't detect any added flavorings unless it's the funk. Burns very well.

As a fan of the sour/sweet/fermented McClelland Oriental No. 6 VaOri, I took a colleague's recommend and tried this blend. I'm disappointed. I was hoping for the sweet sourness of No. 6 but this tobacco didn't produce the desired result.
In fact, it tastes like it has a hint of Latakia in it, such that you leave the smoke with more of a sense of perfume than you do of the citrusy fermentation you'd expect out of a VaOri.
I couldn't pick up any hints of Virginia. The Orientals were there, but overwhelmingly so.
I feel like this tobacco is labeled as a VaOri as an aspiration and not a reality.

Good burning blend. That's where the goods end. I guess you could use this one as a base for home-blending tests, because smoked alone it's totally insignificant. If you're a cigarette smoker who wants to switch to the pipe, try out this mixture: the flavour is the same.

I hate that I could not like this blend, as I am generally a Turkish fan. This however is not a good showcase of Turkish potential. Aperitif, Red Raparee, Cairo; these show of the best qualities of the Turkish leaf. This is nothing more than a Camel in pipe tobacco form, an absolute dearth of depth. The overall taste was too dry and without siqnificant character in the Turkish and Virginia componenets, much like a Toast sandwich (a slice of toast sandwiched between two pieces of toast). I gave my tin away. Try something else.
