LIPC Long Island Sound

LIPC Long Island Sound is one of the club blends Wilke Pipe Tobacco produced for the Long Island Pipe Club. An example of the brand's tradition of preparing private mixtures for clubs and shops, this record is built on cube-cut white Burley.

The cube-cut Burley defines the blend's character, giving nut, earth, wood, a dry tartness, and occasional traces of spice. Since the cube cut lets the leaf burn slowly and cool, the flavor stays steady throughout the bowl. There's no casing; sweetness comes only from the leaf itself. It suits smokers seeking a plain, dry, nutty American Burley character who don't want aromatic or smoky layers.
