Ramsgate

Ramsgate is listed in the aromatic family among ribbon-cut blends in the Esoterica line, produced by J. F. Germain & Son in Jersey. Its flavouring is light; according to sources it sits at the edge of the aromatic class, with a measured sweetness.

Virginia leaf's natural sweetness and the dark leaves' soft body lead, with the topping not overtaking the leaf. It suits smokers steering clear of heavily flavoured aromatics but finding fully untopped blends too dry.
