This is a close relative of "Proper English" and like it, there is not much here that would call me back. It has the typical cut and aroma of "English" but when in a pipe, it sadly disappoints. This one seems to burn even hotter than its relative, which makes it even less appealing. I worked through the tin, but with so many great blends in this genre, I have to say "no mas" to this one........

After enjoying Stokkebye's cheaper English Luxury blend, I expected this to be a more refined big brother. I was sorely disappointed. Judging by the cut and tin aroma this blend should be a nice smoke but as we all know, initial appearances are often misleading. This blend is a chore to keep lit and when it stays lit, it has a Latakia harshness that sticks to the tongue like a demented lamprey. I do enjoy a good Latakia blend but this stuff just hits like a flamethrower. I ended up drying out the contents of the tin and using them for experimental mixing purposes...har har.... Anyway, I like Stokkebye's Virginas quite a bit, especially the Luxury Flakes but after this masochistic experience I'm never buying one of their English blends again.

I'm with CJ on this one. I tried two bowls of this tobacco. Both started out with a nice light to medium english blend flavor, but by mid-bowl my mouth was so fried I couldn't taste the rest. Nice tin, though. Some credit for the nice flavor, but on the whole 2 of 10. If anyone wants the rest of the 100g tin please let me know. - Kelly

I'm not sure if I should review this, but here goes. On opening the paint can container, one is greeted by a musty aroma of oriental tobacco. In appearance, this looks like a blend that I would appreciate. Its mainly dark fine stringy ribbon with some lighter components mixed in. It looks and smells like my kind of blend. The first few puffs show much promise. Its deep, smoky and creamy. But after about 10 puffs, it turns into the worst tongue bite that I have ever experienced. I just can't get past this point. It feels like I put dry ice in my mouth. I have tried this about a dozen times in various pipes with the same result. I have never even come close to finishing a bowl. This happened to me once before with a different blend called, I believe Oriental Pleasure. Its has to be my body chemistry. I seem to have a violent reaction to a particular type of tobacco, but I can't narrow it down to a specific component. Out of at least six dozen different blends, these were the only two, so far, that affected me this way. So this is not for me, but that does not mean that it is not for you. It looks like it would be a great smoke, but not with my genes.
