This was a tough one. I thoroughly enjoyed the taste, that is when I could get it. I had to puff a little harder than usual to get enough of it, and, of course, what happens when you do that? You get nipped. Even with a filter. The bite wasn't bad, rather mild, really, but still, it was there for me.
There is a topping of some sort in this, but I couldn't detect what it was. Whatever it is, it's really mild, and mostly there was just a nice tobacco taste. I liked this blend, just. I found it to be one of those smokes you could light up and forget about. Overall, a more or less pleasant experience.
Out of the matche's I've tried thus far, this one's on a slightly lower level than the other two (Edgeworth RR Match, Revelation Match). Still, it was worth trying.
I'll give it a strong two stars.
Keep on Piping!

I smoked a lot of HoW's Country Doctor. Yes it had it's warts but there were times when I hit just the right moment in a bowl and the flavors of the tobaccos and berry like topping would come together to meld into a good full flavored smoke. I still have some in a tin for comparison.
The new stuff: wide long springy flakes with variations of lighter and darker browns. To the nose it smells like mild burley mostly with nothing to suggest casing. Packing: this has bigger flakes so packing involves more than gravity feed. I pack several layers this with a tamp for each one. Takes a match easily and after the initial tamp and relight it goes on with minimal relights. Initial flavor is very mild, mostly basic burley and hint of something that is very faintly reminiscent of the original. I suspect its the condiments that are applied very lightly. Down the bowl the overall flavor becomes more definite but nonetheless remains quite mild. Smokes down to a grey ash, little dottle and doesn't sour at the end. This is a mild burley blend that requires little attention. Minimally aromatic. A simple no frills burley experience from a good quality leaf. It has none of the negatives of the HoW blend but the flavor is toned way down.

I'll preface by saying I have never had the original.
Pouch aroma of old timey Burley, and alcohol. According to my research, I did not know there was alcohol in the original. Or was there? If you inhale from a distance, you can detect the slight Latakia scent. Stick your nose close, burley and alcohol take over.
Judging by the appearance, I would venture to guess there is less than 8% Latakia in here. This blend is a bit sticky, it will form a ball when squeezed between the fingers. Moisture is a touch high, but a few minutes of dry time will give you perfect moisture. Loads well, if you avoid the cigar wrapper sized chunks you'll find in your pouch.
Initial lighting is slow going. Even after drying for 30 minutes, this blend takes off slow. Very slow. I would say on average it would take 4-5 charring lights. Pack very light, and firm up your pack as you smoke.
Flavors include a slight perfume note up front. Unlike the other reviews, This seems to have an overload of spicy perique. The burley is the backbone here, and the Latakia is slightly known hanging out in the back. This blend can burn wet, even when dried. Requires several relights, which worsen the taste each time. This blend seems very fresh. I have only smoked a few bowls (I like to smoke an oz before my final review) so I'll revisit after a bit of aging. and maybe dry it even longer. Right now, 2 stars
