Rattray Highland Targe
(2.88)
The outstanding feature is the pronounced flavor of robust latakia. This tobacco has earned proper recognition by those smokers who have a particular liking for this type of leaf.

This has more Latakia than Accountant's. It is clearly present in the tin aroma.
But it still remains on the light side for an English mixture.
The Orientals are very sweet and nutty. This compensates for the lack of Latakia at first.
But for an old salty dog as myself, well geared up with rich English mixture, this is a bit bland.
This would be perfect for someone seeking a start for an English mixture.

An excellent light "middle of the road" English mixture. The best part of this mixture is the taste of the orientals which is very noticeable and deliciously sweet.
The content in Latakia is definitively higher than with Accountant's. It is detectable in the tin and when smoked but is not a key player.
The tin aroma was very nutty at first from the orientals but eventually made some room for the Latakia and VAs. Overall, this is a spicy smoke.
A good choice for someone who experienced light English mixtures and wants to venture into a heavier English mixture.
