[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 558709, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]Earlier, I ordered 8 oz., thinking I'd get a kit. It didn't come as a kit, but one bag of 8 oz. As one who prefers a latakia dominant blend, to me it appeared to be primarily Virginias with some orientals. Supposedly, it has some latakia, but it was trace in the 8 oz. bag. So, I tried again, ordering a 16 oz. kit. As I wrote previously, it came in three bags, the contents of which were indistinguishable, one from the other. I mixed them together and the blend got basically what I'd received in the 8 oz. bag. For me, it's kind of okay. Dominant (non-stoved) Virginia blends usually give me tongue bite, unless they've been aged for a very long time. I rarely smoke the original, but during my 50+ years of pipe smoking, I'd guess I've smoked all three iterations and at times went on a binge. I think those who enjoy the current original blend may like the Match for what it is, a cheaper facsimile.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
