Hen's teeth and honest politicians are among the rarest things in the world, but nowhere near as rare as a reasonably-priced, fine quality Latakia blend. Well, you can scratch that off the list now that Drexel VI is here.
This is a classic English-style blend made with a fair share of Cyprian Latakia, fragrant and flavorful Orientals and fine, bright Virginias. The flavor is rich and balanced, and Drexel VI is one of the coolest and best-priced pouch blends you'll ever try.
Dry as a bone. Opening the package, you are greeted with powerful latakia aroma. Fills the whole house. Lots of stems in the mix. After moistening, smokes powerfully. Take it slowly. But,, for the price, can't be beat.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this line of tobacco but the price seamed right and the smell coming from the package had a nice familiar Dunhill smell but the humidity level was kneel. It was very dry, crumbled in my fingers and a course burned very quickly. But hey, being it was on sale I figured it had been sitting on the shelves for a while. Makes a great filler with another favorite blend.

Deep n smoky

I’m putting a neutral amount of stars because I’ve never had this type before as I usually like sweeter tobaccos and am unsure how to rank it compared to other similar blends.
The smell of it took me a minute to place, and it smells like leather. The tobacco itself is dark and dryer than other blends I’ve had The flavor has a very mature feel to it, and the smoke carries the deep toasted notes throughout.

Dunhill like blend

Latakia, Turkish & Virginia. Reminds me of the original end of day Dunhill blend. Slightly on the dry side so keeping it lit isn’t a problem. The price is certainly right. In my regular rotation.

Was quite dry when I opened the pouch but a little time in the humidor with a wet sponge in the lid fixed that. Smooth smoke.

Nice clean English

This is a great English blend. It smokes cool and mild and yet has a very distinct flavorful taste. Great everyday English.

A Solid English Blend

This is an enjoyable English blend. It isn't amazing, but it is rather good, with occasional hints of nuance and complexity.

Hospital Blend
Jul 21, 2018
I'm still new to the hobby, but it seems to me this shouldn't have arrived dried out. It smells like a hospital. I will only buy tins from now on as a result of this purchase.

You rarely smell anybody smoking this stuff but it's distinct and satisfying...
Jan 30, 2018
If you ever wondered why they call oriental tobacco oriental try this stuff. Just make sure you have a separate pipe for it as its distinctness will haunt the pipe for a while. To me the aroma was reminiscent of an oriental import shop. A pleasant smoke and distinctly oriental. Brought me back to my youth smelling this smell for the first time.

English definitely, but it has a little spice in the first third which is a nice variation. For the price I'll be buying more.
