Fox Hound (Hunting 2025)

Fox Hound belongs to the tobacco wing of the Hunting series Erik Nørding has continued since 1995. The 2025 edition was produced in collaboration with American blender Cornell & Diehl; although the brand is Danish in origin, this tobacco is manufactured in the US. A small amount of latakia is added as seasoning to a blend built from cube-cut burley, matured red and light Virginias, cavendish, and St. James perique.

Since the latakia proportion is kept low, the blend gives a profile that leans on Virginia rather than reading as a classic English mixture, with the smoke staying in the background. Cube-cut burley gives the blend a creamy texture and a nicotine strength slightly higher than expected in English mixtures; perique leaves a dried-fruit-and-spice line. It suits smokers wanting to get to know smoky tobacco without diving into heavy Balkan mixtures, or those seeking a naturally sweet mixture for a morning pipe.
