A fantastic English, deep in Latakia and just a touch of Perique for interesting zing. Well balanced and rich.

I just picked some up on your recommendation. This was my first tin of English, and boy, did it knock me for a loop. I can tell that this is a very fine tobacco, so I am going to try some milder English blends and work my way up to this. Although it was strong, I did find it had a certain smoothness to it and I loved the thick smoke. I will definitely keep this on hand as I can tell it is high-quality. Thanks for the recommendation!!
It’s pretty rich and likely has a fair amount of nicotine too. Syrian Latakia is said to have a higher amount Vitamin N and of course Perique is generous in that department too.
If you’re going to store, be sure to spend a few bucks on some fresh canning jars. I think they are the best way to store tobacco safely long term. That way it’ll be in even better shape when you come back to it than it is now.
Thanks for your comments on this blend. I’m sure they’ll help other readers.
