Sundowner Mixture

Sundowner Mixture is an unflavored classic English mixture. According to records its composition is five parts light Virginia, three parts Latakia, one part black Cavendish and two parts specially matured leaf. The tart, cooked-fruit-like taste of mature Virginia meets the smoke of Cyprus Latakia; black Cavendish inserts a brief sweetness in between. The body sits between medium and full, with different flavors taking turns coming forward through the smoke.

The blend is offered under the German firm Charles Fairmorn, whose origins trace to the Lübeck tobacco trade. A record aimed at those seeking English mixtures that use Latakia as a balancing rather than dominating component, and who want a structure suited to tin aging.
