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.

The bright Virginias have a very light tart and tangy citrus and grass taste. The red Virginia is a little more dominant, and is mildly tangy dark fruit sweet with a touch of earth and wood. The Virginias are the main players with the red Va. being a little more obvious. The Cyprian Latakia is a supporting player that offers just a little smokiness, wood and earth. The spice, earth, floral, herbal, vegetative, lightly sweet and sour and wood notes from the Katerini are very slight, and it's perhaps the most minor ingredient present in the blend. The strength and taste levels are mild. Has little nicotine. Won’t bite or get harsh. It's an all day smoke that burns at a moderate pace, cool and clean with a mostly consistent flavor from top to bottom. Hardly leaves any moisture in the bowl. Requires an average number of relights. The short lived after taste and room note are pleasant. The level of nuance mentioned in the description is lower than the manufacturer indicates. Lacks depth and body even for a mild blend.
