Black Mallory

Black Mallory is the mixture among Rattray's dark English blends where the Latakia share is felt most clearly. Virginia, Oriental tobacco, and black Cavendish are combined with a generous amount of Latakia in ribbon cut. It lights easily, needs no extra care to stay lit, and leaves a dark trace that lingers long on the palate.

Strength is medium; smoked at a slow pace the smoke thickens, while a fast pace leaves it prone to heating up. It suits smokers looking for a classic English blend centered on a smoky-woody character, where sweetness stays only in the background.
