This is one great blend. It is described as an English/Balkan pressed tobacco, a rich blend of Latakia, Orientals, Viginias, Perique and a little something extra.
You have to rub this one out, and it is a little harder than some to get it ready to put in your pipe, but once ready, it is worth the little extra effort. It lights well and smokes slow. Deep rich taste, a great taste if you like a real deep Latakia blend. No bite. Just a good, dark smoke. This may be a little harder to find than many blends, but it is worth the effort. A good friend gave me a small sample, and I had to have it! I believe that it may be available only at Pipeandcigars.com. I called and orered it and had it in a few days. Once I got it, I smoked it exclusively for a few days, just couldn't get enough of it. Now, after a couple weeks, it is in my regular rotation of favorite blends.
