Rum and Maple/R & M.

Rum and Maple is a Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. aromatic sold under the abbreviation "R & M" following naming regulations in the United Kingdom. The base is built from Virginia and Cavendish leaf; after the mixture is pressed, it's offered as broken flake, topped with a rum-and-maple axis flavoring.

The rum topping is dark and syrupy, while maple brings a rounder sweetness; given the pressed structure, the burn is slow and cool. Suited to smokers who love classic English rum aromatics and want a tobacco with a pronounced topping that still keeps its flake texture. The same producer's product called Rum Flake also carries a rum-and-maple sauce; these two entries are closely related.
