Tin date is 2-25-15. Components are Latakia, Red Virginia, plus small leaf tobaccos.
Crumble cake. Long smoke. This one is a little sharp on my tongue. I might be sensitive to Red Virginia. This is the first tobacco I've tried that listed it in the blend. Everything I've smoked other than OTCs has been English. This doesn't strike me as Latakia much. It's very spikey. I think the Red Virginia is overwhelming the experience of this one for me. I'll jar it and let it age. Not much pleasure here. I should probably bypass Red Virginias.

This reminds me of a few of the "less Lat heavy" G.L. Pease blends. Everyone seems to love them, but I didn't get much. "wait a few years" was my response as well.

Interestingly, smoking this blend today, I have no complaints. I'm drinking coffee with it and it tastes fine, without the sharpness I experienced before.
