It contains just enough latakia to make the smoke pleasurable, not overwhelming in flavor and nicotine, but at the same time not sufficiently faint to annoy one by it's lack of personality. As far as the latakia presence, I wouldn't call it light nor heavy - as most latakia blends I have met in the past, but I would rather call it a mid of the road blend. It is indeed mild, and here the name did the blend justice - we could call it mellow even. The blend is quite latakia forward, which has a specific sweetness, only improved slightly by the Virginia. Judging from the looks of it, a broad ribbon cut with lots of blond looking Virginia, one would expect a sweet Virginia forward blend counterbalanced by the minority presence of a latakia. The nose is mild latakia-ish, although given the package and the amount I would not be able to say anything beyond that. First off, the name is a bit misleading as this is a virginia/latakia blend and not an English.

Open to new things I though I would play around with it, and based on this little amount of tobacco (maybe 5 full bowls) I have decided to write a few lines.

Thanks to a friend of mine in Bucharest, I have been gifted, this past week, a small zip lock bag filled with what I understand is a bulk only tobacco, sold in the US. In your opinion, what VaPer is still being produced today best matches the original Three Nuns? I look forward to learning from the wisdom here. But a search on tobacco reviews reveals nine VaPer curly cuts. Excellent as the blend is, it is a ribbon, not a Curly Cut, and some have said it is not the same as the old legend.
But I have recently acquired a passion for VaPer that stemmed from a recreation of the original, C&D's Three Friars. I love VaBurs and look forward to trying the new Three Nuns. It is held in reverence that only seems to be matched by the hate for its phoenixlike rebirth. But one of the most discussed blends that I've noticed is Bell's Three Nuns. I have yet to hear a bad word about Orlik Golden Sliced, GL Pease Gaslight, Balkan Sobranie, Marlin Flake, or Penzance. Though we are all different and enjoy different kinds of blends, a few names stand out that everyone seems to agree on. Theres nothing wrong with either! Smoke what you like how you like it! This forum has a wide palate some of us just enioy OTCs in their cobs and thats good enough for them, while others cellar the finest tobaccos for years before enjoying them in their pristinely maintained handcarved artisan pipes.
