And So to Bed

Esoterica Tobacciana And So to Bed.
"A soft,but full-bodied mixture for the evening".

I am not a big fan of English blends,but when the moods strikes me,nothing but a bit of latakia will satisfy and this blend fills the role nicely.

This is ribbon cut,with a dark musty tin aroma. It is a little moist from the tin,so drying time was needed.
This is not a latakia bomb,but more of a balanced smoke.

Overall,I like this blend and am looking forward to trying others from the Esoterica line.

Re: And So to Bed

Thanks for the review Rob. emoticon

I've only smoked two bowls from your sample but I quite agree. It is a nice subtle English - something a little sweet to it that I liked. Had a very nice encounter with it on the second smoke in a meer.

If you haven't tried it yet, give Esoterica Dunbar a try. Good stuff. Very smooth and burns nice.

This is a nice rich Oriental/English blend....great flavor from the lat and orientals. I enjoyed it, though it's not in my rotation....just too many others I like too. Can't smoke them all! emoticon emoticon emoticon
