Kendal Banana

Kendal Banana belongs to Gawith Hoggarth's fine shag-cut aromatic series. A banana topping is applied to light-colored Virginia leaf; the tobacco is made of fine, springy strands, kept at a moisture level suited to packing.

On the smoke, banana aroma is pronounced, with the leaf taste staying light and sweet underneath. Nicotine is low and the smoke cool. Suited to smokers seeking aromatic, fine-cut tobacco. Records indicate part of this shag series began being sold under abbreviated names after packaging regulation changes in England.
