Nat Sherman - Metropolitan Tabac Blend #536 is a gentle Latakia blend, made with bright Virginia, nutty Burley, and a bit of black Cavendish. The flavor is not heavy, lightly sweet, and the tobacco smokes remarkably cool. Fans of some of the recently discontinued McClelland Frog Morton series will find something to like in Metropolitan Tabac Blend #536.
This is an underrated tobacco. It is a very nice English blend. It is even better when aged several years. I understand the argument that no cavendish should be in an English blend, but it works. You will not be disappointed. Buy a few tins while you still can. You will regret it if you don't.

I've been through several tins, all fresh with no significant aging, and enjoy this more with every bowl. Fair warning, it can have a pretty good bite to it if you tend to smoke hot, but if you don't, you'll be treated to a tobacco that changes through the bowl. The first 1/3 usually has a stonger Latakia influence, the middle 1/3 and smooth blend that changes as you smoke, and the final 1/3 has a rich, earthy composition to it. Probably not for everyone, and probably needs a more refined smoker to give a better review, but I enjoy this blend and ordered several more tins to age and keep handy.

A pleasing, mild mixture that can be smoked frequently without any discomfort to the tongue.
