Evening all,
I just wanted to sing the praises of this bulk blend i stumbled upon earlier this year. I do not want to do a formal review, but you can go see what the crew says over at tobaccoreviews
Pipestud refers to Winchester as his sleeper pick for 2010, but I cannot back that claim up personally as I only smoke while awake.
Over the last ten years I have smoked through 120ish blends and it is not that often that anything new makes it to the top ten. Winchester made it in with the first couple of bowls. I had been looking for a blend that had a bit of a cigar note and I find WInchester has a hint of cigar that is just perfect for me. It has a natural sweetness and something in the flavour that is very mildly floral, like a really reserved version of a lakeland blend, not to say it is cased but something about the flavour profile has a floral 'vibe'...this is why I did not want to do a proper review, because I knew I would at some point use the word 'vibe'.
In summary, highly recommended.
Isaac.
