Trafalgar

Trafalgar is Drucquer & Sons' classic English mixture. Soft, spicy Turkish tobaccos, light and red Virginia leaves, perique and just enough latakia for a light smokiness are balanced together. The ribbon cut makes the blend smokable throughout the day.

Its character is measured, where latakia doesn't leap forward, keeping the orientals' spice and Virginia's sweetness in front; perique adds a fruity tartness. This structure, which opens its layers slowly through the bowl, suits those seeking a more finely worked English mixture rather than a high-dosed latakia blend. The blend is one of the old recipes dating to Drucquer & Sons' London period.
