I recently scarfed a 20 year old tin of this blend off ebay.
Medal of Honor is an unremarkable English blend, and has a most unusual taste in that all of the components produce a rather unique, and satisfying sensation. The room note caused the wife to send me into the garage with the dogs though.
This blend was very dry, but again, the tin was 20 years old and that may have had something to do with its lack of moisture. It packed well and smoked cool.
If a bold taste is what you gravitate toward, this old classic will miss the mark. If you prefer a light latakia taste with an unusual twist, try to find some of this stuff. The Virginia comes to the forefront in older tins as the Latakia base mellows and flattens out - not a bad thing, necessarily, but certainly worth noting.

A good light English mixture that I enjoy even though I usually smoke aromatics. Not overly strong, not cased at all - just good, honest, high-quality tobacco in a great blend.
