Compton's of Galashiels Scottish Mixture
(3.73)
This is full strength mixture. It is 50% Virginias and cavendish Virginia and a high proportion of Turkish with the latakia providing a background note. The taste is full with a pronounced dark flavor.

I agree with the first reviewer. Great Scottish mixture. I beleive this is similar to what Rattray's Accountant mixture was like many years back. If the current version of Rattray's had a good dose of quality latakia it might be similar to this.
Essentially, a dark Scottish latakia blend with cavendish added. A coarse cut tobacco with a dense rich smoking character. Really unique and wonderfully blended with the highest quality tobacco.
Very expensive but worth it, I think.
