This medium-cut, Virginia-perique blend is overall a medium, earthy-brown colour that is punctuated by lighter beige and darker, blackish threads. It has a sweet, musty aroma in the pouch, which is very similar to what you taste upon lighting up. The balance of seasoning is strikingly good, with neither the sweetness of the Virginias nor the pepperiness of the perique dominating each other. Still, the perique is there in ample quantity to come through clearly with its subtle bite. A bowl of this becomes more peppery as it is smoked and the sweetness subsides quite a bit. It provides a medium-bodied smoke that is clean-tasting and quite refreshing. Although I've only smoked this mixture in a meerschaum, it seems to be very smooth and creamy for a Virginia-perique mix, except near the bottom of the pipe, where it gets sharper. It seems to have a little less kick than Dunhill's Elizabethan, but it's still a very satisfying smoke, especially due to the rich, full flavour of the Virginia base. This is one of the best Virginia-perique blends I've had to date, since I find many of them to be too strong on the tongue. I find this makes a good morning smoke. The room aroma is unmistakably that of a Virginia-perique mixture: slightly sweet, slightly pungent. Thanks Spiff for the excellent sample! '96

实在无法写出自己的感觉，从朋友那里只得到了六斗的量，粗糙的认知是室韵要比Latakia更容易让人接受，劲道也不输于Latakia，烟气凉爽，抽完后，斗钵闻起来有薄荷的味道，一款很不错的“零食”。

请品尝过的村友再详细介绍一下，谢谢。
