I went through an 8oz tin of Stratford, which is the only one I‘ve tried yet. And I think it is a very well balanced Va/Per and a favourite of mine. Bradley from the Stuff and Things YouTube channel recommended this as a substitute for Elizabethan Mixture and though Stratford is a bit milder and more balanced in my opinion I think this is a reasonable statement. He also stated that due to the cut and the balance of flavours, Stratford is the GLP Va/Per the most suited as an all day smoke.
