Observations
Examination
Visually it’s dark brown, medium brown and black strings intermingled in about equal portions. The tobacco has the delicious smoky smell of Latakia. It’s a little damp and clumps if squeezed together.
Preparation
Because of the moisture content, I put some out on a saucer to dry for about 30 minutes. Packed the bowl with a Frankish method.
Burn
The tobacco lights easily and burns well to a grey ash. The smoke is white and abundant.
Flavor
Latakia is the star of this show from beginning to end. There’s a sweet and sour Virginia taste that darts in and out as the bowl is smoked keeping this from being monotone in flavor.

Comments and conclusion
This is a delicious English. Definately Latakia forward without being overpowering. It’s a high quality offering that would be welcome in most cellars.
