I am a surprised that this blend hasn't received better reviews - it makes me think that there may be batch variations with it...(My latest purchase came from smokingpipes.com in February of 2005.)
This is a fine bulk blend and I have smoked it on and off over the years. I prefer to smoke this dry and it burns bone dry to a very nice white ash. It's certainly not very complex (like Squadron Leader, Caravan, etc.), but the underlying Latakia element is simply outstanding. If you enjoy English blends with tastey, smokey Latakia...like I do...(the kind that makes your mouth water)...then you will enjoy this straightforward blend.
This is an under-appreciated classic that, when purchased by the pound, is a real bargain - try it.

I dont see why this is rated at 2.5 stars, I will miss this mixture greatly when it disappears from my cellar. Best quality tobbacos, each type of leaf used plays together tasting different characteristics of each leaf throughout the bowl. Unique and distinguished and very underestimated mixture of pipe tobacco from first light to last puff. This is a great smoke....
