I bought a tin of this back in March that was dated from November of 2013. I tried a bowl and thought it was rather odd, so jarred it up and tried again last night. This is supposed to be a medium English and it gets great reviews on TR. My tin seems to be devoid of any Orientals, very little Latakia and I'd swear it's only VA's and some burley. It tastes mostly like cigarettes. This tin is not even in the ballpark as an English. Hell, it's not even in the same city as the ballpark. If anyone is very familiar with this blend then please PM me so I can send you a sample. I'm betting it's a mislabeled tin but would like some confirmation.
