Peter Stokkebye English Luxury (No.17)

PS English Luxury is a light English blend. The flavor starts out very mild and becomes a bit stronger as tobacco burns down.

At the start, the mildly smoky Latakia competes with the sugary cavendish for center stage, with the latter taking over by mid-bowl. The burley lends a nose-tingling spiciness at the beginning of the smoke and some notes of wood and leather towards the end. The Virginias are barely noticeable, offering some grassiness toward the end of the smoke.

I've rated it Recommended but, for experienced English smokers, it's probably more of a Somewhat Recommended blend.

Due to its mildness, English Luxury is a good morning smoke and would make a good introduction to Latakia blends.

I do like this blend , burly have a sweet taste Virginia's a bit grassy , Latakia as always smoky , earthy the Cavendish rounds out the blend to make a enjoyable smoke.

I like VA's on the warm months , English from fall to early spring , so I tried EL per chance to find a nice medium fair for the coming season.

This is one I will order again for said purpose, seasonal smoke.l

It took me a while to get the quality of this blend. Usually, you smoke an English blend for the body, the heaviness. Here, at first, you encounter this light blend, with a very small concentration of Latakia - maybe too small. Too much Cavendish, I also read here, and those who said it were right. Maybe. It was an extremely hot day where I live, and I decided I want something light, and yet flavorful. I packed half a bowl, lit it up and gave it a go. Apparently, it’s a perfect blend for a hot day in the dessert. It’s light and fun, smokes rather cold, not high on nicotine. I believe it’ll also be a nice blend for beginners who want to try an English. It gives a hint of what Latakia tastes like and makes you want more.

I was gifted with a fairly large amount of this, so keep in mind with review is of some English Luxury that has over 10 years of aging. This is a very mild 'English', and the Latakia is noticeable in every puff but it is never dominate. While the components often mesh together, sometimes the VA or the Orientals seem to be forward, while the Burley seems to be supporting the Latakia. Altogether, very pleasant. Fans of other mild English blends (Squadron Leader, Presbyterian, Germain's 1820) may wish to try this: it's not a 'match' for any of them, but falls into a similar category.

A good Latakia blend for the first timer. Very mild and easy to smoke. I may get it again if I tire of Frog Morton.

This is a good tobacco. It has a nice good taste, but its flavor is not anything special. No tongue bite, packs and burns well.

As has been said a very good blend. I think that sweetness is coming from the Virginia @ black cavendish as usual another good PS tobacco.

This the very first English I've tried. A very well made English with a lot flavor and good aroma. It consistently provides me a very satisfying smoke bowl, after bowl, after bowl. Although not as strong as I would want it to be, I find myself smoking this at least once a day. Compared to other brands, it is in my opinion, a better smoke not only for the money but for quality and consistency as well.

This is my every day all day smoke. Just enough flavor to keep me interested without overpowering me. As alight English I think it shines! My evening pipe though is Balkan Supreme. So far I have yet to try a bad blend from PS. Some that weren't great but nothing foul.
