[QUOTE="12toneman, post: 181126, member: 1196"] I always though Grey Havens was a misleading name (and tin design too). I try not to have expectations, but based on the name and packaging I thought it would be one of these half-aromatic blends ala Connoisseur's Choice. I mean, the name Grey Havens, comes from a children's book. The tin label is a dainty lilac color. We see on the label some pretty flowers and some pussy willows. "Oh this will be a pretty blend", thought I. Boy was I wrong...what we've got here is a masculine, good ol' days, Sam Spade burley. Why the whimpy name? Grey havens would be an appropriate name for Peterson's Sherlock Holmes, which is also a terrible name for the blend. [/QUOTE]
