It's decent, but not a world beater. Here's my review:

The base of the blend is the flue cured Virginia, which offers a fair amount of citrus, grass, and a couple drops of honey. In a support role is the raisiny, figgy, plummy, spicy perique. The nic-hit is a step past mild. The taste is a shade past mild to medium while the strength level sits squarely on that threshold. Won’t bite or get harsh even when pushed, though it does have a very slight acidic note. Burns cool, clean, and slightly slow with a very consistent flavor to the finish. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a few relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste. It does lack a little depth, but serves well as an all day smoke.

If you like Perique blends, you will probably like the Drexel VIII. It comes in a pouch and is in flake form. Hay and raisons for taste.
 
Now smoking Lane Burley and Black in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a brown pearl acrylic stem.
