I'll begin by saying its all your fault for adding this to the Esoterica favorites thread! (Not sure who atm, but anyhow)
I picked this wonderful blend up, as indicated, because I saw more than a couple folks listing it in the thread, and my wife allowed the splurge when I'd already asked for 4oz of the #10 downing street I was out of.
After about 20 minutes dry time I packed and lit my bowl, 3/4 full in my bent briar I now believe is a billiard shape.
The orientals in it were the first thing that hit me, pleasant, fruity and spicy. The latakia was just prominent enough to give a nice smoky flavor without being too heavy. It took a while for me to recognize what I think is the Virginias in it, and even then TBH it was just the mild sweetness it adds to the blend.
All in all, I have another Esoterica favorite to add to my coveted Pembroke.
