Mixture No 666

666 is the first step in John Aylesbury's Danish-style numbered aromatic series. Its composition is built on aromatic Virginia and twice-fermented black Cavendish, and it's offered in 50- and 200-gram packages. The maker describes the blend as delicately and measuredly sweet.

Nicotine is low and the burn is cool; its casing intensity is more measured than the other members of the numbered series. Directly aimed by the maker at pipe newcomers, it's suited to those seeking a light aromatic that won't bite the tongue.
