[QUOTE="morleysson, post: 20155, member: 53"] I posted these comments on another site, responding to some criticism of the blend, and, of course, consider that I participated in the blind testing of the blend: "[i]I wouldn't dismiss this blend w/o some age on it. It is a young flake, and the VA is pronounced, but the tin note is more like a fresh tin of MacB Symphony, with the same kind of bright VA prominent. It is moist, but drying a few flakes made it burn w/ some fairly subtler taste. Neither the perique nor the turkish present overwhelm the smoke. I was searching for an analogous blend and the mild Capstan comes to mind. While I like a fuller smoke and more strength (nicotine), IMHO six months will improve the smoke.[/i] Subsequently, I finished the tin and I was impressed. There is flavor w/o harshness and a much subtler sweetness than I noticed in the first few smokes. Some VAs-based blends can impart an aftertaste, but that isn't present here. The perique and the turkish are nicely balanced to complement the VAs. Al-in-all I like the blend, and I normally don't smoke any VAs. It is a treat, especially if you remember and liked the Capstans. [/QUOTE]
