Trying to hitch a ride on the Squadron Leader name is a little out of line, I think. This is all right - a middle-of-the-road English mixture - but it's no different from many another. It's all right (mild; cool; well-behaved; not a lat bomb), but it's nothing special. I'd probably have spoken more favourably of it if it weren't for Carey's attempt to pass it off as something it isn't. I recommend it somewhat, but in the way that I would recommend maybe ten other blends from which, frankly, it's indistinguishable. E.A. Carey's prices remain attractive, though, and their mail order service, though slow, is good to have.
