Superieur Caporal Pipe

Superieur Caporal is a blend unique to The Pipe Shop on Leith Walk in Edinburgh, prepared to replace the Scaferlati the shop previously sold. It follows the dry, unflavored tobacco tradition of French caporal blends and is built from dark Virginia leaf.

It is full-bodied with high nicotine; the taste is described as earthy and malty, with an association to dark beer. No casing is used. It is meant for smokers accustomed to dry, strong, straightforward tobaccos, well beyond the level of anyone looking for a mild or sweet blend.
