English Mixture

BBB is a tobacco brand named after the English pipe maker Blumfeld's Best Briars. English Mixture represents the brand's classic English style: Turkish tobacco and Latakia are added over a base of Virginia, Maryland, and Burley leaf. No flavoring is used; the taste comes entirely from the leaf selection and Latakia's smoky character.

A smoky, salty, woody profile emerges; underneath, the Virginia base lays down a measured sweetness. Nicotine load is medium, but flavor intensity is high, which can be tiring for smokers unaccustomed to heavy English mixtures. It's generally the kind of blend preferred later in the day for a slow smoke.
