Long Neck Demon

Long Neck Demon is a blend under the Niall of Nine signature, produced in small batches in the US. Records indicate it is made of 2022-harvest Kentucky leaf, darkened and heat-pressed burleys from 2016 and 2022, 2014 St. James Parish perique, and a small amount of Cyprian latakia and Macedonian oriental. No additives are used; sweetness comes from the tobacco's own processing.

Its character is dark and earthy: perique's plum-and-pepper sharpness and a smoky line from the latakia layer over the pressed burley's bready, nutty body. It's a full-bodied blend in nicotine terms; it suits smokers accustomed to burley- and perique-forward, unflavored tobaccos wanting a long pipe toward day's end. The brand's blends come out in vacuum-sealed 50-gram jars in limited numbers, so availability is periodic.
