Kendal Gold Spearmint

Kendal Gold is one of the shag-cut main bodies produced at Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Kendal workshop in Cumbria. Its base is a fine golden-hued cut of flame-cured bright Virginia leaf; the producer states it uses no other tobacco type in this series, only cleanly cut Virginia. The Kendal Gold body is offered with numerous different flavorings, and Kendal Gold Spearmint is this family's spearmint-flavored member.

The mint flavoring leaves a cooling effect on the mouth and throat, with the Virginia base's sweetness staying beneath that coolness. Since the shag cut burns fast, a measured draw is needed. Aimed at smokers accustomed to mint-topped tobaccos and those wanting a palate-cleansing blend.
