Right from the charring light the Latakia made its presence known. The rich smoky flavor came right to the front. Which was not surprising based on the tin note. At the mid-point of the bowl the nuttiness of the Burley started coming through as well as the Virginias adding to the flavor. The Earthy and smoky flavors were still the dominate factor to the end of the bowl. Even once the bowl was done I could still taste the Latakia.
I will definitely be smoking more this tobacco.

I love this blend. Though, I get more Burley from it than anything. The Latakia is just right. It has a full flavor, but it's not heavy, if that makes sense.

Add me to the list of people who love this tobacco. Always 8oz. tins at a time. I wish they would start a bulk line up.

The Borsphorus Cruise (and, I suspect, the No. 5 as well) are not light English blends

His name escapes me but the GM of Sutliff said something along the lines of No.5 being invented to fill the gap for 965 mixture when dunhill was unavailable. It was on the PM radio show. I like BC as well but No.5 being in the large tins gets more of my dollars.

Tried this for the first time yesterday, partly because is saw this review the other day. I liked it so my I sampled 3 bowls, I think I might need add some to my cellar.

Blend 5 is very good. Field Master is, too. Both have the nutty burley taste in them.

I had a bowl of this for the first time the other night. I loved it. It reminded me of PS Balkan Supreme. I will definitely be getting more.

No. 5 was my recommendation based on their Perfect Blend Questionnaire (which is quite cool by the way). I look forward to trying this. And those prices on the 8 oz size are hard to beat!

Count me in as another fan of Blend #5. Lots of latakia without being a lat-bomb. But I don't think it tastes like Dunhill 965 though.

To my taste buds, Blend number 5 is very much like Tinderbox Sherlock's choice, and Edwards Special Balkan. I bet there are some other bulk blends out there that have very similar characteristics.

I don't want to create the wrong impression here.I like this blend a lot,but it's not for those who aren't Latakia fans.

jiminks, thanks for the comparison with Dunhill 965. I didn't know whether to get the 5 in addition.

I have tried Sutliff's Westminster, which is also very good. 965 and Westminster have a good balance.

They don't Lat you down, but use Lat to bring up the other tobacco.
