About a year ago this was one of my favorite tobaccos and I was smoking more of this than just about anything else for a period of a few weeks. Well, I picked it up again to see if it would still catch my fancy as it once had...
The tin aroma is pleasant but unexceptional with an interesting intermingling of the smokiness latakia and spiciness of the perique. The perique is surprisingly obvious in the tin aroma.
What seems to be Syrian latakia strikes me as just a little too predominant in the smoke. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I find the blend distinctly unbalanced. The perique surfaces from time to time, but it just doesn't complement the blend as well used perique should. I also expected the orientals to smoothen the harsh edge of the latakia some and they just aren't. The edge on the latakia is very sharp and mutes the virginias to the point that I have to struggle to taste them. On the whole, it isn't a horrible English, but it definitely ain't my cup of tea.
Perhaps my tastes have just changed that much in the last year (I've gone from an invenerate Latakia man to a smoker of Virginias), but this doesn't appeal to me anymore. I might try it again in the future, but I doubt I'll keep it on hand.
