Drucquer & Sons Red Lion

(3.64)
A light-medium bodied blend based on bright and red Virginias, Cyprian Latakia, a bit of toasted black Cavendish, and just a touch of air-cured leaf. It offers an extremely smooth and balanced smoking experience that is soft on the palate, with a natural caramel-like sweetness and a comfortable, smoky complexity that is both familiar and new. A wonderful all-day blend, or an engaging change of pace from the heavier "English" styles. This tobacco was named after the lions head which appeared on the original Drucquer family crest, and which now graces our blend. - Gregory Pease

Feb 12, 2023 Medium None Detected Medium Pleasant to Tolerable
Tin note of tart plums, sugared Rasins and mildly smoky. Tobacco is a Ribbon cut of orangish tan, brown, dark brown with a little black mixed in. Moisture content is great. Burns moderately with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of tangy sweet fruit, wood, spice, bread, rich earth, floral, savory, leather, dry hay, plums, brown sugar, orange peel/zest, mild vinegary fermented sour, a Rasin and sweet grass background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Cavendish and Perique supporting. Latakia and Burley are supporting from the stands. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.
