This is a very mild yet extremely pleasant English Blend. The Latakia and the Perique are players, but they don't take the infield. What is presented is a very pleasantly balanced blend of what it means to be English. Definitely, you are smoking and tasting tobacco. But this is an all day blend, and it is meant to be smoked with company in mind, but like all good English people, it is happy to be smoked under a tree overlooking the sea or a desert as is my case just as much as it is after a fine dinner of Prime Rib and Yorkshire pudding.
Are there flavors in the mix just waiting to be savored and written about? Yes, but what would be the point in going on and on about each of the flavor notes. You have Cavendish, you have Latikia, you have Perique, and you have Virginias. What IS note worthy is that in this blend they all play nicely with each other and they get along, so much so that those who smell this mixture as its being smoked are taken in as if you were smoking Prince Albert. Prince Albert was an Englishman and so is this blend.
John Dengler was the tobacconists' tobacconist. He was legendary in his own time and he knew it. Those not familiar with him have their homework cut out and as a former teacher consider yourself assigned to learn about him. This blend, one of many that he devised, was and is something that is still accessible at the shop that bears his name - a shop in St. Charles, MO that is itself more museum to a time when tobacco shops were adventures waiting to be experienced. I highly recommend this blend. Be forewarned - it isn't SPC or Esoterica. But it is tobacco the way tobacco was formulated for over a century - that is to say - it is enjoyable and will ask you to savor it some more once you are finished.
