An all black blend of three types of Cavendish. The natural sweetness of the familiar Virginia Cavendish is blended with Rustica and Katerini, which have also been blackened in the Cavendish process - unprecedented for these tobaccos and the palates of pipe smokers around the world. The bold Rustica offers earth and herbal notes in balance with the Katerini, which retains much of its Oriental qualities, imparting a light sweetness, subtle spice and a steady burn.
