A medium to full flavored English style mixture. Burley based with an ample amount of Latakia. Slow burning, flavorful and uniquely satisfying. Blended for the true connoisseur.

Lots of Cyprian latakia for a smokey, woody sweetness working well with a decent amount of earthy, lightly nutty burley, which is a supporting player. The Virginia is dark and grassy, earthy, very mildly fruity, and perhaps a little overpowered by the other ingredients. Not much sweetness here. Has a slightly more than mild nic-hit. Burns at a reasonable pace, fairly smooth, but there's a little roughness as you go along, so I recommend you sip it. Doesn't bite. Has a consistent flavor. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, and needs an average number of relights. Has a lingering after taste. More for an experienced smoker, and is not an all day smoke.

This tobacco has a very nice woodsy smokey taste with a very subtle pet shop and extremely subtle Play-Doh note at time which is actually a good thing. It's very subtle though, those complex nuttier tastes. My only complaint about this tobacco is that it's too mild in strength. Not much nicotine. It burns very well and is quite smooth.

This may be a variant of Lane's HGL, without the Cavendish. It certainly tastes like Lane ingredients. I find it to be a decent English, rather light on the Latakia, but not lightweight in flavor. I liked my couple of ounces slightly more than Philosopher, but in this style you really could do better investigating some of the blends by Wilke or Peretti.
