John Aylesbury Dragon Blend
(2.80)
The ultimate luxury mixture from the respected house of John Aylesbury!
We began with a spun cut mixture of prime golden and red Virginias combined with black cavendish, gently adding real gin and brandy whilst the mixture is carefully turned for cutting. Hints of the finest burley, extra velvet cavendish and torn bright Virginia are then introduced to the full bodied brilliant bouquet of this premium blend.
The final result brings forth an irresistible scent of melting caramel that is certain to enchant you and all who may be in the vicinity of such a special aroma.
Notes: Formerly called Premium Blend, but the name was changed due to EU laws.

Upon first light, the brandy and other liquor makes itself known. I thought I tasted an orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier, but who knows. The boozy flavors merge well with the sweetness of the caramel, which together dominate the tin note and the first third of the smoke. The tobacco components make themself known the further down the bowl you smoke. The Virginias are grassy and slightly tangy. The burleys add some nutty flavors. The rest gets lost under the casing/topping.
There is some potential for tongue bite.
Is it good: yes. Is it the best aromatic that I have ever smoked: no. But, Dragon Blend is a nice blend to smoke around Christmas.
