Campanile

Campanile is one of the unflavored blends from Dublin tobacconist James J. Fox, combining Virginia and Turkish (Oriental) tobacco in a ribbon cut. It contains no Latakia, so rather than the smoky character of English blends, Virginia's dry sweetness and the Oriental's light spiciness come forward. Records indicate the tin recommends it for the day's first pipe, and its flavor profile doesn't change markedly over the course of the smoke.

Strength and flavor intensity are kept low. Nicotine isn't described as filling, though it's noted the blend can run a bit hot. It offers a profile suited to pipe smokers moving from aromatics to unflavored blends who want a light, calm smoke. Its body stays thin for those seeking a full, intense flavor.
