And correct me if I'm wrong Rev, but aren't true English blends allowed one flavor while not being considered aromatic? IIRC, the whole distinction of an English tobacco came from the English monarchy getting angry over too many unsafe chemicals being added to tobaccos, so they banned any tobaccos with more than one flavor.

A quick google search pops this up:

Actually, I do not think I called anything and English blend. That term was only used in the description by C&d in which THEY called Cross-Eyed Cricket an English blend "enclosed" with a rum punch flavor.

Ooops, I go back to another post and there mention "English" blends. My bad. Yes, I am a good American and sometimes slip into that mode of calling blends with Latakia in them, English blends. It is a bad habit. Forgive me.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
