Gillingham Mixture

Gillingham Mixture is a ribbon-cut blend among Cornell & Diehl's coarser-textured aromatics. Per the manufacturer's description, black cavendish along with red and light Virginia leaves are topped with a small amount of perique; the blend is honey-flavored. The component list also mentions burley and Oriental tobacco.

The honey flavoring brings out the blend's Virginia sweetness, while perique leaves a light spice and fruit tone in the background. As the flavoring is kept moderate, the blend suits those who want to avoid heavily syrupy aromatics yet still want a sweet smoke, and who don't want to give up natural tobacco taste entirely.
