Fox & Hound from Altadis sampler box



Since returning to ASP & delurking a few weeks ago, I've benefitted by
getting a great olivewood poker from Johan at http://www.jobertpipes.co.za/
(thanks, Travis!).

Then, today, the 4-lb sampler box arrived from Altadis. I generally smoke
aromatics, but the first pouch I sampled was Tobacco Galleria Fox & Hound.
The pouch says "A Traiditional mixture of Red Virginia, Turkish, Burley,
Latakia and Perique". I expected to be knocked over, but instead I'm won
over.

So, puzzled that I liked it, I looked at tobaccoreviews.com to see what
others thought. It got decent 2-star reviews, with most indicating it was a
light English, a good first intro to English. From my experience just now, I
certainly agree! Reviewers mentioned it was similar to Finck's Istanbul and
Walnut. Since I like this light version of an English, can you recommend
others along this light side? Thanks, Rick
