Craven Craven Mixture
(3.18)
The famous mixture of cool and aromatic tobaccos, first specially blended for the third Earl of Craven in the 1860's. A very traditional latakia mixture.
Notes: Another Murrays brand has just come to mind - Yachtsman, which in the 70s was not an aromatic.
Also in case anyone wonders why Mick McQuaid ( a Carroll's brand) was on our price list, Rothmans International owned a large slice (or all?) of Carroll's, and we sold their products in the UK, including Sweet Afton cigarettes which took their name from the famous poem by Robbie Burns.

Well, this was bland.
I can't really remember anything of note whatsoever about this tobacco and frankly, I have no interest in buying another pouch to refresh my memory. It's just another one of those 'supermarket' blends that do any good pipe an injustice.
Anyone who thinks that this modern (pouch) version of craven is the arcadia mixture must be living in Neverland.
