John Cotton John Cotton's Number 3
(3.17)
Made of Virginia, Orientals, latakia and perique.
Notes: John Cotton's Number Three is a great addition to their English blend lineup. Like most of their other latakia based blends, there are wonderful Virginias and Orientals joining smoky Cyprian latakia, but what sets Number Three apart is the addition of just enough perique to add depth, spice and sweetness, making this a perfect late evening repast.

Tin note of smoky, vinegary fruit wine, and spices. Tobacco is brown and black ribbon cut with a little tan mixed in. Moisture content is good, no drying or prep needed. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and mostly consistent, with notes of smoky incense, peaty vegetation, musty wood, rich earth, floral, toasted bread, spicy, sour, bitter dryness, leather, lemon zest/peel, mild citrus, a savory herbal background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Oriental/Turkish and Virginia supporting. Perique is doing its own thing. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great.
