What an amazing English Blend! Up until now I had only tried bulk english blends, which have always been my favorite. Margate being my first Tin elnglish just raised the bar well beyond the reach of my bulk english blends.
The latakia is very prevalent in the tin, and I expected the flavor of it to be overwhelming, but it was so subtle that I was shocked. I haven't much experiance with Orientals, but whatever orientals they blended were fantastic. It is a well balanced, rubust, and satisfying smoke that burned slow, and cool. Smoking out of my antique comoy bulldog my smoke lasted just over 30 minites! Which is quite impressive, my bulk english blends will burn through that pipe in about 10. Every puff was heaven. I suspect my bulk english blends will find them selves quite neglected in the weeks to come.
