Match Windsor 805

Match Windsor 805 is a heavily aromatic blend built entirely of black cavendish. The casing rests on a trio of licorice root, chocolate, and walnut. Records indicate it was prepared to correspond to one of the House of Windsor brand's blends; documented information on the original blend is limited.

Because it is built from a single leaf type, the tobacco character is plain and soft; the casing is what stands out. Nicotine is very low, while taste and aroma intensity are pronounced. It suits lovers of dark, sweet cavendish-based aromatics and those new to pipes; as with high-moisture blends generally, it may call for slow smoking and relighting.
