A supreme style of pipe tobacco based on the renowned cool smoky aroma of Cyprus Latakia. To perfect this delightful tobacco there are selected golden Virginias with aromatic Black Cavendish and sweet Greek grades added to satisfy the fastidious pipe smoker.
Notes: Albeit no flavoring is mentioned in the description, the additives list reveals 3.1 grams of added flavoring to 100 grams of tobacco.

For those who prefer strong English mixtures like Durbar, this might not be your cup of tea. However, Durbar is my favorite English and I must say the Old Dublin can hold its own.
The flavor is very complex, but still subtle because, unlike many "complex" tobaccos, this isn't overwhelmed with latakia. I couldn't tell you for sure, but I'd guess 30% latakia on this mixture. The orientals, Basma, and Cavendish are all noticeable in this smoke, but do not overpower the mixture with an overpowering sweetness. There are in the background and, though probably low in percentage, the smokiness of the latakia is predominant. There is a delicate harmony between the wide variety of leaves in this tobacco.
I don't usually go for Peterson tobaccos (the pipes are, of course, a different story), but I must say that every English smoker must have at least one tin of Old Dublin around. It's well made, seems to be aged wonderfully in the tin, and is an ideal first smoke.
Recommended. Especially to new smokers.
