This blend is well represented in my cellar. It doesn't get
a lot of attention, which is something I've not understood for years.
It's a distinctive Virginia/Perique that smokes well and ages even better.
It's a bit pricey, but worth the coin and certainly worth your time to investigate.

Here's the review on tobaccoreviews.com. I haven't tried it but it sounds close to Butera's Kingfisher- a unique VaPer blend.

I cannot say that Dorisco Mixture (Virginia, Perique) in
any way smokes like Butera's Kingfisher(Virginia,Burley & Perique). While we're on the topic of James J Fox blends, The Bankers Mixture and Provost are also worth your attention. Campanile is an acquired taste, while Hibernia is almost an Aromatic. The Squire's Mixture is a blend that I've not found has a following. The single quality of how the Virginia components are blended are what make these blends
favorites of mine. The Bankers Mixture is one of the finest Cigar leaf blends
produced, being smooth and creamy in the smoke.

Thanks for the extra information Fred...although I will now stay away from the Bankers Mixture as I'm not a fan of cigar leaf blends.
Fred, can you personally notice the latakia much? There seems to be some consensus on tobaccoreviews.com that its there but well integrated into the blend.
Also, how would you describe its strength of nicotine and flavour? Just wondering how closely your opinion cuts to the average determined by the site users.

Dorisco Mixture has a small amount of Cyprian Latakia in it,
despite the blend description. In the old sense of the term, it's
a light English mixture. I enjoy both Cyprian and Syrian Latakia blends.
To me, the main player in this blend are the Virginias. I suspect that
those who really don't like Latakia would speak to this issue, but to
me it is a minor player in this blend. It's full flavored and light to
medium in strength. As far as how my opinion coincides with the reviews,
you can draw your own conclusions. To really understand this blend, you
need to smoke it.
