Murray's 1862 Whitehall is the kind of English-style blend that the all-day pipe enthusiast will love. Sweet Virginia and mellow Burley is blended with a bit of Virginia-based black Cavendish and smoky Latakia in a light enough amount to keep from overwhelming the palate.
I finished the tin and am raising my rating to 5 stars. I really like this stuff. It's a little sweeter and smokes a bit cooler than a typical English. The flavor holds through the entire smoke. Little or no PG so it will dry out quick, but I'll take that trade-off. Opening a tin of 1A Linfield next.

Mild english, cool smoking

Very nice mild English that smokes cool and bite-free. It's my first experience with Murray's and it's made a good first impression. I'll keep it in mind as a replacement for EMP if Dunhill really does go away.

I've been a pipe smoker since 1972. And in all of those years I have been unable to cultivate a taste for Latakia, as much as I have wanted to (I tend to straight Virginia's or Virginia/Perique blends). In most of the English blends I've tried, the Latakia was either overpowering or so scant, I could hardly detect it. But that was before I gave Murray's 1862 Whitehall a try. The Latakia adds just enough smokiness without taking over. The touch of Burley adds a slight nutty flavor and the Cavendish complements, ever so lightly, the natural sweetness of the Virginia's. This tobacco serves as a great introduction to English blends as well as a good tobacco to have in your rotation if you're not a big fan of Latakia...like me.
