Virginia tobaccos are the foundation, fire-cured Kentucky and a pinch of Perique spice tobacco add body and intensity to this rustic, strong bolide. The "broken flake" structure provides the ideal balance between yield and impeccable burn. 

Not for nothing is this tobacco named after a blacksmith in a tale by the Scottish national poet Walter Scott! It is bursting with power - not only from the nicotine content, but also from the flavor body. The profound, unifying smoky, woody and toasty aromas of the Kentucky and the pithy spiciness of the elegant Perique, reminiscent of the best bread, are cushioned in perfect harmony by the character of the high Virginia content, which delights with its natural honey sweetness as well as with its fat, creamy smoke texture. A massive, but also excellently balanced blend.
