Robert McConnell Celebrated Sovereign
(3.38)
A blend prepared and cut by craftsmen in a factory steeped in knowledge and experience. The unique latakia of this blend is carefully matched with Turkish Dubec leaves to establish a first bouquet. Cool smoking and maturity are then assured by an equal proportion of jet black cavendish which has matured in "Scotch Presses" capable of heat and pressure. The addition of bright Carolina and red Virginia imparts their mellow nutty flavour and the blend is completed. A connoisseur's blend for those who are seeking the finest in latakia mixtures.

As the manufacturer's suggest, this is a blend for the true connoisseurs of pipe tobaccos. Celebrated Sovereign is a delicious and delightful 'old fashioned' style mixture which has been perfectly balanced to provide a truly exceptional smoke. If you enjoy blends such as Samuel Gawith's "Squadron Leader" or Stokkebye's "Balkan Supreme" then you are going to find that this Sovereign, having slightly less of a Latakia prominence, is a right royal smoke!

Do not attempt to pack your pipe with this tobacco fresh out of the (beautiful) tin! It needs at least one week of aging inside its own tin. Then you can pack and lit it up and transfer it to your favorite jar. This, in my opinion, is among the best scottish mixtures ever tasted, providing caring as above. Not too smokey, latakia is there but just to add a plus, to a wonderful mixture. Try it.

Another great blend by McConnell. Very similar to the original oriental but a little sweeter. A true Scottish. I have to say that when you let it mature properly it becomes sublime
