Beautiful Balance
I just got my order in of Eastfarthing and it has gone to the top of my list for English Blends. Let it be known that I am not a huge Latakia fan. I find most blends to Lat forward, not letting you taste the other component tobaccos but not here. This has a beautiful balance! This is how Latakia should be used in a blend. It is sweet but not overly so. Very impressed. Any Brandybuck would be happy to sip some of this blend in their pipe!!

Memories of Frog Morton
While this blend is substantially sweeter than Frog Morton and Frog Morton Cellar, it certainly has a very similar quality to those two blends. It's got just enough smokey latakia to keep things interesting but not enough to make your house smell like you lit a campfire in the living room. Out of the tin, the tobacco is a little wet, but with a few minutes drying, it's perfectly smokable. Leaves a bit of dottle and requires a few relights, but stays pleasant for the whole bowl, not something you can say about many aromatics. I recommend it!
