Foundry

Lane Limited's Foundry blend is an English-type mixture prepared by combining selected burley, Virginia, black cavendish and latakia leaves in a ribbon cut. The latakia proportion forms the blend's backbone; burley gives fullness and a nutty base, Virginia sweetness, and black cavendish softness. Retail listings state it's offered in 1.75-ounce metal tins.

Since the mixture carries a more balanced latakia dose than heavy Balkan blends, it suits smokers new to the English type or wanting a measured smoky taste for daily smoking. The ribbon cut eases pipe packing and ensures an even burn. Lane Limited is, per records, a long-established blender manufacturing in Tucker, Georgia, USA.
