Manufacturer Description:
As opposed to an actual English breakfast, “English Breakfast“ is a rather light tobacco. Bright and Red Virginias Bright form its basis, along with oriental tobaccos. 20 percent Cyprian Latakia give this blend its character without dominating it. The sweetness of the oriental tobaccos and the Virginias define the taste of “English Breakfast“. The Latakia stays in the background, giving this blend just a final touch. It is a tobacco for the early hours or for whenever you are looking for a good-natured, straightforward companion. “English Breakfast“ is also a good start into English blends. …Good day sunshine.
Characterisation:
The round tin with additional plastic cover is well suited to keep the tobacco fresh for a longer time. The tobacco is well conditioned and does not need to be pre-dried. The Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast is rather wide and short cut. The nearly black, crimped fibers are interspersed with approximately the same proportion of light brown fibres. The fragrance from the tin immediately reveals the Latakia, it is sweet-spicy, pungent and slightly smoky, like autumn leaves in the sun.
Plugging:
The Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast is uncomplicated, just like any loose mixture down loosely stuffed and top fixed.
Light up:
The Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast requires only the flame of a single match and a gentle smoothing with the tamper for a persistent embers until the end of the filling.
Smoking properties:
At the first puffs, you might think that you could smoke the Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast before breakfast. Its smoke is so light and gentle. In the further smoking process, however, the taste becomes stronger, smokier and fuller. Also roasted aromas and the delicate sweetness of the Oriental are then to taste. And also a glimpse of incense, as it is typical of more flowery Latakias, is to taste when the pipe is kept cool. When the glow is gently pressed against the tobacco sometimes with the tamper, the Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast burns down slowly and evenly, leaving only bright, powdered ash and hardly condensation in the pipe.
Redolency:
The note in the room of the Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast is as expected for a latakia-containing tobacco, strong and therefore not suitable for companies in which no English tobaccos are smoked.
Conclusion:
The Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast is a mixture of dark brown and light tobaccos, whose sweet and smoky smell tells the Latakia. The tobacco is very easy to plug and light up, and it would also be easy to smoke by the side if it was not too bad. While smoking, the Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast has an interesting development that starts mild and soft and slowly increases until the spicy, smoky and roasted aromas of the different tobaccos are opened up. As the manufacturer promises, the Original Warehouseblend English Breakfast offers an uncomplicated, yet not boring entry into the English tobaccos, which is also suitable for more experienced smokers who are looking for a latakia-containing tobacco every day and at any time.
