The Devil’s Own

The Devil's Own is among the fuller English mixtures in the Drucquer & Sons line. The proportion of golden Virginia leaves and the amount of Cyprus latakia are kept higher than in the brand's Inns of Court blend, giving both a sweeter and fuller-bodied smoke. A small amount of burley and unsweetened black cavendish add weight and texture to the smoke. It's ribbon cut, showing yellow-tan, light brown, brown and black leaves together.

Latakia is the component that defines the blend's identity; the soot is balanced by Virginia sweetness and holds its intensity through the smoke. It's medium in nicotine, with above-medium flavor intensity. It suits smokers seeking smoky English mixtures for evening smoking or long sittings, unbothered by a strong latakia character.
