Presbyterian Mixture

Presbyterian Mixture is a ribbon-cut, unflavored English-style blend dominated by Virginia and Oriental leaf. The smoke is cool and mildly sweet, with moderate strength. Whether the blend contains Latakia has long been a point of debate: it gives a smoky, sooty impression, but it's not certain whether this comes from the Oriental leaf or a small proportion of Latakia. This ambiguity has played a part in the blend's reputation among its following.

In character it is more restrained than heavy smoky mixtures, making it an entry point for smokers curious about English-style blends but wary of a heavy Latakia content. It also appeals to those who want to experience the Oriental leaf's spicy tones alongside Virginia's sweetness. The ribbon cut makes it easy to pack and light, with an intensity suited to all-day smoking.
