P & T Magazine review. "An extremely complex blend, matured red Virginia contributes its familiar fundament of weight and natural sweetness. Cyprian latakia is added along with other orientals, broadening the band of flavor, and to me, giving it the predominantly oriental character it exhibits. A hint of lemon Virginia and a touch of perique, a presence but not a definite note, complete the blend. The amounts of the ingredients are balanced with such care and skill, the flavors migrate from one pleasant place to the next, with none achieving excessive dominance. It develops as the bowl burns cleanly down, and leaves a white ash. Not hot, this goes best in medium to small bowl pipes. Excellent."
