The pouch aroma of this blend is very nice. In the aroma, I am picking up on the smoky Latakia along with some sweet and spice from the Virginias and the Orientals. The moisture content was perfect for smoking right away. I loaded up my pipe and proceeded to the charring light.
On the charring light, I am picking up on some light smokiness and a little sweetness on the base of a nice tobacco taste. There are some nice, thick billows of smoke coming from this blend. I finished lighting the pipe and settled in for the smoke.
Right from the start, I can taste the Latakia, but it is not overpowering. There is also a nice sweetness accompanying the smoky Latakia, but I detect the sweetness more on the finish. It goes very well together. First there is the smoky and lightly spicy taste from the puff of smoke, and the there is the sweetness on the finish when you blow the smoke out. They are a very nice compliment to each other. The taste was very consistent from the beginning throughout the end. It was very nice. I would call this a Medium English blend.
Sunjammer is a very good blend. It has a very nice flavor, burns cool, dry, and didn’t bite. In their description of this blend, they mention Dunhill 965. At the time of this review, I have not smoked Dunhill 965 so I do not know how these two blends compare to each other. I like this blend quite a bit and if you enjoy English blends, I think you will enjoy it as well.
I Recommend it.
Brand: Hearth & Home
Blend: Sunjammer
Description: A smooth and sweet blend of Bright and Red Virginias, Macedonian and other Oreintals, smoky Latakia and a touch of unflavored toasted black cavendish. A traditional Scottish-type mixture, a great alternative for the Dunhill 965 smoker who is looking for the same kind of medium bodied, slightly sweet Latakia blend but would like something a bit different.
