Peretti English No.110
(3.13)
A pleasant English-style blend with the rich flavors of fine Oriental and Latakia tobaccos, but a sweeter blend than most.

Pouch note of a sweet, mild English, similar to Boswell's Mild English. The sweetness is reminiscent of McClellands sweet and sour Va. Aroma as though it has been cased.
The blend is majority light and medium brown, with few specks of black. This doesn't contain much Latakia, which is what English No. 220 is for. Medium length thin ribbon cut, loads well with a bit of spring.
Initial lighting may take a few matches, and a few tamps. This expands quite a bit in the bowl.
This is a decent entry level English blend. Its got everything an English needs, without any particular component being obtrusive or overbearing. Semi-sweet, slightly smoky, toasted wood, a touch earthy. Does Leave an ashy feeling on the palate. This is good for a morning smoke with coffee, maybe a midday lunch pipe.

The guys at Peretti's do prodigies with Burley blends, but the magic touch does not cross-over to their English menu. With the exceptions of Royal and D-9507, Peretti's English blends are competent but not exciting. There is an unfortunate "generic" quality throughout the range.
English No. 110 is not a bad smoke...once I get by the initial ferocity of its bite. I expect the high Virginia content accounts for this. It settles down quickly, though, and remains docile throughout the bowl. The blend burns well and packs a sufficient nicotine punch to satisfy that craving. But that is the only one.
The composition of English No. 110 is similar to the old Dunhill Standard Mixture--Mild, though without that blend's piquancy and delight. The Presbyterian Mixture of thirty years ago, which bore NO resemblance to today's iteration, was the blend by which all mild English tobaccos should be judged.
But since both the old Standard Mixture--Mild and the real Presbyterian Mixture are no more...I would recommend Peretti's Prince of Wales as a more distinguished and interesting representative of the genre. Also, GL Pease's Picadilly is a wonderful light English.
Two out of four stars.
