Some people enjoy Latakia blends with a little something extra. That's the concept behind John Bull Fragrant English. This remarkable blend of silky black Cavendish, hearty Burley, and rich, smoky Cyprian Latakia is completed with a top note that works beautifully with the robust taste of the Latakia. The resulting blend has some sweetness behind the smoky profile while adding an aromatic note that makes the room note more pleasant. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if the combination sounds intriguing to you, John Bull Fragrant English is a must-try.
Gave it four stars, I didn't pick up much Oriental as I would like, but if you have to light up an English in mixed company, this one shouldn't offend, and you won't find a better bowl for less money. Burns well, doesn't bite.

If you're looking for a English blend that isn't harsh, John Bull is GREAT. it may be too mild for some latakia fans who want a stronger flavor, but if you find latakia too strong, try this! it's the smooth alternative for those times when my full bodied latakias are a bit too much.

Really enjoy this blend. No bite at all, and makes for a great choice when I'm not in the mood for an english with Virginia in it.

Good smoke
Jun 23, 2023
English is becoming a favorite of mine, nice easy smoke with little to no bite. Not the greatest room note for everyone, wasn't real fragrant if you're expecting an aromatic. It's a little bit of a heavy smoke which I didn't mind "but my wife did LOL". I do enjoy it and will probably be getting it again. John Bull is definitely worth a try, you won't be disappointed

When I opened the pouch I was overwhelmed with a chocoholic fruitcakeyness like something a schoolboy might pop into his mouth. But once in the pipe, there emerged a tantalizing, spicy English complexity. Once the pouch dries out , this blend might be a repeater indeed.

A decent alternative
Mar 04, 2022
I'm a big fan of the 'original' John Bull, and now an even bigger fan of their newly-released "True English". The Fragrant variety is a good smoke as well, if a bit sticky-sweet out of the pouch. I don't think the flavorings (which to the nose, out of the pouch, appear to be vanilla and/or chocolate) play any role in the actual smoking, but I suppose it was an afterthought. All in all, a decent alternative to a straight English, but I think there are better English blends with subtle aromatic toppings out there.

I had made my own mix using My mixture 965 and some other odds and ends which turned out well. John Bull Fragrant is remarkably similar. A very nice alternative to my other favorites.

I always keep a pouch or two on hand. Distinctive without being too strong. A nice English tobacco.

A crossover blend
Jan 06, 2022
If you’re a Balkan/English blend smoker who wants to try something different, John Bull Fragrant English works as a good crossover blend. Just enough Latakia to keep you satisfied and it’s a smooth smoke with a nice room note.

It was ok for an average tobacco. My favorite tobacco is a special mix of Bourbon and Vanilla mix, I have it specially made.

A Good American English
Dec 07, 2021
This would be a good blend for anyone who likes American English blends. Primarily I taste burley and Latakia. I don't get much sweetness from the black Cavendish. This came with just the right moisture level in the pouch. Takes the average number of relights. Would be a good all-day smoke.
