Bakerstreet, USA

Bakerstreet, USA is an English blend prepared for 4noggins by Matt Robillard. According to the manufacturer's account, the blend came about at the suggestion that Robillard try his hand at an English-style recipe. Its composition includes a measured amount of Latakia, various Oriental leaves, Virginias, and a small portion of Burley; the Latakia is kept in the background rather than dominant.

The result is a profile with moderate smokiness underpinned by a light sweetness from the Virginia. No additives are reported. Nicotine is moderate and flavor is medium-to-full-bodied. It suits smokers who find heavy Latakia blends too intense but still want the dry, smoky framework of English-style tobacco; the maker positions it as the day's last pipe.
