Troost Black Cavendish

Troost is one of the Netherlands' best-known pipe-tobacco brands; the blend called Black Cavendish represents the brand's black cavendish tradition. Steam-processed, flavored dark cavendish leaves build the blend's body; dark-fired Kentucky added alongside gives a smoky, earthy depth. The Dutch-style fine (shag) cut lets the blend light quickly and burn cool.

The character stays close to Danish aromatics, though the casing applied on top is not pronounced; most of the sweetness comes from the cavendish process itself. Suited to those seeking a dark, mild smoke without a heavy sugar load, and to those curious about the classic Continental European style.
