This blend is based on a larger amount of the Oriental, which is known for its delicious soft and yet aromatic and spicy flavors. A little smoky Latakia and a pinch of Black Cavendish and Virginia perfecting the medium-strong blend harmoniously. Originally this was a "private blend" supplied to a frequent customer - Colonel Tree.
A stunning tobacco that is often used an alternative to Balkan Sobrane. A personal favourite of our own Glynn Quelch and many at the Nottingham Pipe Club.
A very English tobacco
