    • Orientals/Turkish (spicy, fragrant complexity)
    • Virginias (natural sweetness and balance)

    • Secondary: Sweet Virginias and a whisper of Perique for depth and spice.
  • Overall Character: Balanced, cool-smoking English blend with a refined maritime feel.

🧭 Strength & Room Note

  • Strength: Medium to medium-strong.
  • Room Note: Smoky and robust—typical of Latakia blends.

✅ Ideal For

  • Fans of traditional English mixtures who appreciate complexity without overwhelming strength.
  • Perfect for cool evenings or contemplative sessions.

From the creator:

Port Guardian

Full Red Virginia Flake consists of five grades of aged, Mahogany, and Orange, rich flue-cured leaf from VA, NC, GA, and Canada. The tobacco is pressed and stored for an extended period, transforming it into a flake. Then, the tobacco is cut and gently packed in a vacuum tin. 

 

To be more precise, I would say it is my take on a Capstan Blue, a tobacco my father also enjoyed a lot—but a Capstan Blue from before 1960, made under the English Purity Law.
