Another one respectful English blend, cool dry smoke, no relights.Latakia coming together with Virginia, orientals staying on background.Cigar leaves noticeable on 2nd third of the bowl. Perfect even for all day smoke. Recommended.

Note that this is a blend that caught my personal interest and at the time i smoked it it fitted perfectly to my taste, so maybe the rating i gave it is just due to a personal reference. But in the end, that's true with all reviews.
I liked this blend alot for its high Latakia content and the creaminess of its smoke. It was mild to the tongue and i found it a dark, deep mixture that very much reminded me of times long since gone. I could imagine that this is a blend Sherlock would have smoked.
I found it easy enough to pack and light. In the beginning of the bowl the Virginias deliver their sweetness but then the Latakia boldly takes over and after half the bowl it has a light cigar taste to it. So, progression of the smoke is really nice. Overall the blend is rather strong and in that regard i would not recommend it to the beginner. Also if not smoked with care it develops alot of moisture for an english blend, which you would regret towards the end of the bowl.
The room note was *very* nice.
I have no clue how this blend compares to Fox The Bankers as i had not yet the pleasure to sample that one.
This is one of the nicer Planta blends but it still *is* blended by Planta and has the typical Planta taste to it, which in this case i would describe as some slight hollowness. But again, it is one of their nicer blends - as a rule of thumb: if it shows the name Planta readily on the label then forget about it, if it does not, then give it a try, its worth it.
Overall, if you are looking for a nice, heavy, Latakia strong blend with cigar leaves in it then i strongly recommend trying this one.
