Tom Eltang English
(2.54)
Featuring an impeccable balance of red and bright Virginias, exotic Latakia, and a dash of Katerini, Eltang English is a mild, highly nuanced smoke, crafted to become a most favored all day blend.
Notes: This blend is being released on September 17, 2014 at Tom Eltang's house in Denmark. Per Mr. Eltang: For some time now (about the past 15 years or so…) I have been playing with the idea of blending my own tobacco as a natural extension of my craft. Finally this happens - through the help and guidance of Sykes Wilford, Smokingpipes.com and the American Pipe Tobacco Manufacture, Cornell & Diehl tobaccos.

I like to keep my reviews short as I am no connoisseur.
I got my free sample from smokingpipes as others. And I am glad I received one. The smell is quite amazing I must say but I have to mention that I was a little intimidated by it as I am not used to strong blends. What a surprise, even though the smell and taste of it exceptional, it is very mild. I am at middle of the bowl, and still no sign of lady N. Seems like this is a true European.
I think I would enjoy this in a morning pipe. I think I will buy a tin or two in the future. Recommended to all.

I didn't have high expectations for this blend, and for that reason I wasn't disappointed. It's not incredible but still a good tobacco. There was enough latakia for me to call it an english and I was able to satisfy my craving. Still, though, I may not buy an entire tin. Second half of the bowl was much more enjoyable than the first half, notes of earthy and savory.

This is a deep tasting blend, that is smooth, balanced, and tastes of its components. The truth is it doesn't deserve a bunch of 2 star ratings. Maybe everyone thinks it's need Burley or Perique or more of one individual component. If you have smoked enough bland English blends you'd know this is not one. Different tastes for everyone I suppose.
