Uhle's Blend 303
(3.00)
Combination of Blend #71 and Blend #232. Created for summer smoking when 232 gets just a little heavy.
Notes: The 1960s tins sport the following description: Golden and red Virginias, mild fire-cured Cavendish plus monopoly Turkish tobaccos married with pinches of latakia and perique to create a mild slow burning mixture with a true natural tobacco aroma.
But according to the old Uhle Blends website, Blend 303: Sweet and smoky, this muted English blend appeals to the Burley lover looking to spice up his/her pipe. Ingredients: Latakia and Burley.

Since I very much like both the #71 and the #232, I wasn't surprised to find that I like #303 as much, if not more. It's kind of the best of both worlds in that it has the cube burley, VA, cavendish, and latakia of the #71, with the Turkish, (more) VA, and (more) latakia of the #232. I find it stronger in latakia than either of the other two, and yet the taste is light enough for summer smoking here in humid Wisconsin, perhaps due to the presence of the cube burley. In terms of strength, I would consider this to be a medium English. The taste of latakia is there in slightly greater proportion than Dunhill London Mixture, I would say, so it should be sufficient to satisfy the average latakia-afficionado. This is another beautifully dry tobacco from Uhle's and should be enjoyed as is. You will be pleased to note that there is no gurgling or appreciable moisture left behind in your pipe. Highly recommmended.
