123 Mixture

123 Mixture is a ribbon-cut blend from Robert Lewis, classified as cigar-leaf based. It contains Havana-origin cigar leaf alongside Cyprus Latakia, Turkish-Oriental tobaccos, Virginia, and black Cavendish. No flavoring is applied. Robert Lewis is a London-based tobacconist founded in 1787.

The cigar leaf's share stays limited in the smoke; Latakia, Oriental, and Virginia proportions balance one another, with black Cavendish giving a light sweetness underneath. Flavor starts at a medium level and intensifies toward the end of the bowl, leaving a full finish. It burns hot, so it calls for slow smoking. It suits smokers accustomed to English blends who are curious about what cigar leaf adds.
