Contemplation

Contemplation is one of the aromatic blends from Wilsons of Sharrow, produced at Sharrow Mills in Sheffield. It's a coarse-cut mixture ready for hand-rubbing, based on Virginia leaf and black cavendish. A casing carrying honey and tropical-fruit notes is applied on top. Virginia's own dark citrus sweetness combines with this casing, while the black cavendish adds a mocha-like, creamy softness that balances the blend.

Nicotine stays mild while flavor intensity runs high — meaning it leaves a full aroma in the mouth without building strength. Its slow burn and heady scent suit long, unhurried sessions. It's well suited to newcomers to aromatic tobaccos and to smokers seeking English-made fruity mixtures. Wilsons of Sharrow is one of England's oldest tobacco businesses, producing snuff and pipe tobacco since 1737.
