🔹 Overview

Sextant is part of G. L. Pease’s Old London Series, a unique English blend that combines Latakia, Orientals, Virginias, and a touch of Perique with a subtle rum topping. It’s designed for smokers who enjoy traditional English mixtures but appreciate a hint of aromatic complexity.

🌿 Composition & Cut

• Tobaccos:

• Topping: Light rum essence, adding warmth and depth without overpowering the natural tobacco flavors.
• Cut: Broken flake, offering a slow, cool burn and rich flavor development.
