Ashton Artisans blend pipe tobacco
Received it ahead of time and it is the best pipe tobacco I've ever tried.

The gold standard
Hands down, the best English blend I've smoked, and I always keep a tin in stock. It'll knock you back but won't bite. Very rich and complex.

Ashton's Artisans blend
I already have reviewed this tobacco when it included the Syrian Latakia, it was my favorite English tobacco. Now that the Syrian is gone for good and Cyprian Latakia has taken its place I have to rate this new tobacco a 4, good but not as good as the original!

The taste and aroma is marvelous.

Quality English
If you like English blends you can drop this into your cart with eyes shut. Latakia is the star, with an excellent supporting cast. It does not bite the genteel sipper at all but will get a little irritable with a puffer. I wish I could give it a 4.5 because 4 really is a little unfair. I reserve the 5 for perfection, and this falls short only in that it is generic English---it does not have a distinct signature that stands out from the pack. Hardly a crime in my book. I am going to buy it again, regularly.

This is one of the finest blends I've ever smoked. Latakia, medium, pleasant. If you like Latakia, this one is it.

Latakia done right
Strong but smooth Latakia blend. Well balanced. Don't be afraid, join the dark side, we have Latakia.

Syrian Latakia, a Hidden Gem
One of the best English blends out there. The Syrian Latakia adds a nice mystique and complexity. This, along with Nat Sherman No. 536, is my favorite English blend. If you like English blends, this is a “must try”.
