Based on a 1 oz sample. Just a bit darker than Century, this has the same balance of all components in the bag aroma. This one doesn't specifically list latakia as a component, but it's quite obviously involved. Ribbons were a bit larger than Century.
Lighter in flavor than Century, but seemed to have more latakia. Not as well balanced, but that's not meant as a slight. In this one the components each moved to the forefront at various times. I'd call this a Virginia-forward light English blend, and I kept wishing for a bit more of an overt oriental presence. But that's just my preference talking. If one were comparing this to another early morning blend such as EMP, they might find this one with less body and oriental spice but with more latakia... or probably more noticeable latakia, if not more by recipe. The Cavendish in this one added some sweetness and smoothness but not much. It was perhaps topped with something, as I occasionally got a whisper of a foreign flavoring that was not terribly pleasant. All in all this one is worth a try for fans of lighter English fare, but I was not impressed.

Not really Peretti's best creation. A little boring and rather run of the mill. There are much better blends such as Tashkent .

The tobacco upon opening is a ribbon cut with darker strands being the predominent, and ocassional lighter ones. The oriental in this blend plays a condiment-role with the virginia being the main character, and the cavendish a secondary backer. As one gets going down the length of the bowl the orientals do make their presence more known to the smoker; as a background note that increases in intensity, but never quite challenges the virginia or cavendish. The blend burns clean and seldom leaves more then a slight dottle at the end. A nice experience.
