Brullende Leeuw

Brullende Leeuw is an English-style blend HU Tobacco prepared for a Dutch pipe forum; the name means "roaring lion" in Dutch and symbolizes the Dutch-Flemish connection. Latakia, Oriental tobaccos, some black Cavendish, and a small proportion of Perique are added atop light and red Virginia leaves.

Latakia stands at the blend's main axis; the Orientals add a woody, herbal layer, the Virginia leaves ripe fruit and tart sweetness, and the Perique brings dried fruit and spice in the background. With its unflavored structure and medium strength, it's aimed at those looking for a Latakia mixture that can be smoked all day.
