I was rooting around in my closet when I found a sampler bag I'd wrapped in aluminum foil a year or two ago. Long enough ago I don't remember receiving. I checked C&D's web site for the "tin descrioption."
A smooth, reasonably light blend of aged Virginias, Latakia, Perique and a little Turkish. An outstanding, middle of the road English blend with a delightful flavor.
This is a great English blend for a warm climate, and a better English blend for pipe smokers like me who prefer Latakia as a condiment rather than the base of a blend. Plantation Evening has a mouth-watering tang from the Virginias and Perique with a detectable amount of natural Virginia sweetness.
The Latakia and Orientals are present in just enough measure to keep things interesting and lock Plantation Evening into the "English Blend" category. If I had to have one complaint, it would be that the Perique comes on just a little strong, but this may be a plus for you.
