It’s a nice blend. Nice room note, and not overpowering while smoking. It’s a great blend to grab if you just can’t decide what you’re in the mood for. Covers a lot of bases and checks a lot of boxes.

I get the sweet cream from it. As a contrast, I get sour cream from EMP.
I love this blend. One of my top 5.
You could say it has a salty note to it.... But not that salty.
My favorite English/Oriental and for me almost the perfect morning smoke with the creaminess, but I could see why people don't care for it due to the lightness of it. I wonder how it ages, next TAD order will be a pound of it....

Could not agree more
I love Presbyterian with my morning espresso
Had some Presbyterian today. Really hit the spot! ?
I’ve got a tin cellaring, but reading all this makes me think it’s not going to last long!
I just popped my first tin of it. I was initially no fan of latakia, at all, but I decided to spend some time learning to like English blends. After reading so many reviews of English blends describing them as "creamy", this is the first time I'm picking up on that. Presbyterian is extremely cool and creamy to me and quite good.
I haven't had much luck with latakia blends. But this looks promising, so long as it's not heavy on red Virginia.
I really enjoy Presbyterian, it's going to have a place in my cellar for the foreseeable future.
Latakia is there, but to me it's really in the background or really working together with the Orientals and Virginia. I don't think it's red Virginia, but I can't tell for sure.
Has anyone tried Presbyterian match from P&C? I'm still relatively new to the pipe world and finally picked up some Presbyterian after reading all the glowing reviews and was blown away by this blend! Granted my experience with English tobacco came from the sub-par blends offerd from my local B&M cigar shop, but wow what a difference! This could easily be an all day smoke for me but the price tage for this pipe smoker on a budget is a little to high for an all dayer, and would rather save the real stuff for a long quit weekend night. The match, budget wise is perfect but would hate to waist money on another sub-par blend!
I tried Presbyterian for the first time this weekend. I also tried a couple of C&D English American blends,First amendment and another one I can't remember. This was my first time trying English blends. I thought the Presbyterian was well made. It was well packaged and it burned really nice right out of the tin. I enjoyed how cool it burned no tongue bite at all. I can't put my finger on the taste. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. There was almost a rubber taste to me and all of the three blends shared this. I'm guessing this is the orientals? I have real mixed feelings about it I don't think I'm drawn to this genre of tobacco. I have a tin that was given to me. I think I'll revisit it later. Also after trying the Presbyterian everything afterwards that I tried tasted like Presbyterian.

I say keep smoking it and you'll be surprised at the changes in flavor profile you'll get. At some point you should really get some "sweet cream" from it.
Trying for the first time. After reading all the reviews my expectations are really high.
@Sadluck never saw the big tub, only 50g and 100g tins, if i'm not mistaken that Croatian on the tin.
