🔹 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:
Cyprian Latakia – smoky, leathery backbone.
Orientals/Turkish – add spice and floral incense-like notes.
Virginias – provide natural sweetness and structure.
Perique – subtle pepper and dark fruit undertones.
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.

Mid-Bowl: Orientals introduce spice and complexity; Perique adds subtle fruit and pepper.
