The burleys offer plenty of rich cocoa, toasted nuts, earth, wood, some molasses, mild spice and a continuous undercurrent of vanilla. They take a small lead. The aspects of the potent 1990s Turkish are earth, wood, floralness, buttery sweetness, mild sourness, peaty vegetation, herbs, and spice. It is an important second lead. I’m sure Smyrna is in the mix of Turkish. The bright Virginia provides a burst of tart and tangy citrus, grass, floralness, bread, some sugar, vegetation, sour lemon, light spice and a touch of acidity. It sits in the third position adding a strong accent to the production. The creamy, sugary Green River black cavendish and another vanilla black cavendish add sweetness and a little balance as well as taming potential roughness. The stoved Virginia produces sugary stewed dark fruit, earth, wood, bread, and a small spice note. It’s a condiment. The same can be said for the spicy, raisiny, plumy, earthy, woody perique. I sense a slight vinegar/wine-like note that accentuates the experience which likely comes from the chemistry created by the marriage of the varietals. The strength almost reaches the medium threshold. The taste is medium. The nic-hit is a step below the strength level. There’s no chance of bite or harshness. Barely has any rough edges. Well balanced, very complex and nuanced, it burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a mostly consistent, fruity, creamy, sugary, mildly sour, spicy, cocoa, vanilla, and molasses, floral, deeply rich flavor. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasantly lingering after taste and room note. Can be an all day smoke. Four stars.

One of Ernie Q's wonderful blends. bag note is sweet/spicy . Medium ribbon cut perfect moisture. From what I understand this is a limited run. This is defiantly one of my desert island blends. Its quite complex but super smooth at the same time. Lots of nice nuttiness and coco from the Burley, sweetness from the Cavendish, some lite citrus from the Virginias , and spice from the perique. I think the Vanilla is from the Turkish. All real tobacco flavors. Easily an all day smoke nic hit is mild to medium. I bought in bulk once this is gone that will be the last of it . 4 stars highly recommended

A well blended tobacco with attractive mix of coarse cut and ribbons. Semi-aromatic with a gentle sweetness and delicate room note that does not offend. Various flavours evolve and the Turkish adds a unique angle to the other components. I can’t easily compare it another tobacco. Tobacco flavour is well rounded with a full house of varieties. Complex enough to change as the bowl burns and keeps it interesting yet can be smoked effortlessly without too much attention. Hits the zone after a third of a bowl with a rich creaminess, sugary with a /vaper-oriental taste. Multiple bowls in sequence works fine.
