Jfox520's Review of Standard Tobacco Co of Pennsylvania John Cotton's No 1 Mild

[jfox520]

Strength: Mild

Flavor: None

Taste: Medium

Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was of peat and cedar from the Orientals. The blend was ready to smoke right from the package no drying needed. On the charring light and the true light the cedar from Orientals was the prominent flavor. Next the citrus and tanginess of the Virginias joined the flavor profile. The Latakia is a minor player in the flavor profile, but present throughout the bowl. John Cotton's No 1 Mild burned cool and well with no relights. This blend would be great for a first foray into Latakia blends. It would also make an excellent all day smoke.

Nice, thanks for the review John. I can't wait to try them myself eventually. Exciting! :clap:

Good stuff, and this has been a hit with all whom I've shared it with. For a Virginia lover, it is a nice break. I think that hardcore latakia fans might get bored with it, but it reminds me a little of Presbyterian in those cedar-y, woodsy notes.
