I liked it. Here's the review I wrote:
There's a casing that reminds me of berry wine, but it's lightly added. The Virginias are a little earthy and sweet. The black cavendish adds to the sweetness without imposing the typical vanilla flavor one expects it to have under normal circumstances, so it must be unsweetened. The latakia seems a little sweet for Syrian, and not as smokey or woodsy as usual, but it still tastes very good, and provides the necessary depth of flavor needed here. It's at the border of the aromatic English genre, and should please both crowds. Burns at slow to moderate pace with a consistent flavor and leaves no dottle. Has a pleasant room note.

I was told it contains "new" Syrian. Tastes significantly different than the other Syrian blends I've tried. Not really my cupmof tea this "new syrian".

Sounds good guys!
I've had a couple tins of it in the cellar for a year or two now, just haven't got around to them yet.
My tastes tends to run about the same as Jim's, although not as refined. I'm sure that if he likes it, I probably will too.

I've got a tin waiting to be popped; it's nice to see positive things written here.
I've read a few reviews saying that the syrian is different, or just plain not there, so I'm curious to try it out.

I thought it was an unusual blend, but I can't remember why (lame, I know). I found it so in part because the latakia was playing with the other ingredients, of which I remember that were several, but not dominant; and I little bitey. But then again I've slowed down some, so maybe not bitey now.
