No.99 Royal Tudor Full Latakia Mixture

Astley's No.99 Royal Tudor is a traditional English mixture combining Virginia and Turkish-Oriental leaf with a high proportion of Latakia. The phrase "full latakia" in its name points to the prominence of the Latakia share in the blend.

In the smoke, a balance is struck between Latakia's deep, smoky character and the spiciness of sun-cured Orientals; sweetness from the Virginias keeps the blend from becoming too heavy and rounds out the taste. Body is full, with no added flavoring. It suits smokers who prefer dark English mixtures as an evening smoke and aren't put off by Latakia intensity.
