A delightful medium English and I enjoy it very much!

to plug my own blend, just pointing out they are not similar even though the logo theme is similar. I have edited my review to eliminate the reference to CBB.

Wait until after the 1st Kg... :-)
I wish that my palate had enough resolution to analyze this blend, I'd love to know what kinds of VAs, what kind of Orientals... :-)
At this level of quality, all that meter is the equilibrium, and SL is probably THE medium english mixture.
And then, there's SL younger brother, Skiff mixture, I haven't smoked much of this one, it looks like a diluted SL, still good but not THAT good. So far, in the light english field I vote for Synjeco's Wenti Blend.
How does it fair when compared to this GLPease blend? Deciding which to order tomorrow morning!
Has more of a Latakia taste IMO and it is a matter of what you are in the mood for. It seems as though I am the only one who thinks Skiff is stronger in flavor than Squadron Leader. It's all Good
Skiff and Westminster have not come to me yet. When I got serious with the pipe almost two years ago I lucked into buying 8oz of the stuff. It's still my fav English, although, yes, a medium strength. I love the depth and sophistication I taste with this tobacco. More than just a stronger FMOTT, it could be a daily English for me if it weren't so darned expensive. I try not to analyze too much, (that helps if you're not smart) and really enjoy what I like. I really like SL.
As far as plugging, if I were capable of creating a great blend, I'd tell every pipe smoker I saw on the street about it, everyday. I'm not, so I just smoke what I like. Bob, we here know, and I really appreciate your contribution and insight. I'm sure that no rankle was intended, but CBB is truly 'good, unique weed'.
