St. Patrick's Day Tobacco

St. Patrick's Day is a member of the series of blends Paul's Pipe Shop prepares for particular days. Per the maker's recipe, a mixture of burley, Virginia, and some cavendish leaf is given a plum and whiskey essence. Burley gives the blend a dry base, Virginia a light sweetness, and cavendish mellowness.

The topping sits on a fruity, boozy axis; the plum sweetness leaves a darker impression alongside the liquor note. Nicotine load is medium-low and the smoke texture is mild. It suits smokers who enjoy fruit- and liquor-flavored blends but want to steer clear of fully cavendish-based, syrupy mixtures.
