Surbrug's West Minster

Surbrug's West Minster is the Latakia-and-Virginia-centered record of the Surbrug line Wilke carries on. Virginia builds the base with grass, citrus, and light dark-fruit notes; smoky, distinctly woody, sweetish, lightly musty Cyprian Latakia moves to the front of the profile. The structure is plain and balanced; it carries no spice or casing load.

Strength only just reaches the medium band, flavor sits right in the middle, and nicotine is mild to medium. It burns cool and clean without biting the tongue. It suits smokers who want the classic English framework at low intensity and are looking for a Latakia blend suited to long bowls.
