Drucquer & Sons Red Lion

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
