The foundation of this exceptional blend rests on Red Mottled Virginia tobacco that provides rich, earthy sweetness, while Carolina Leaf contributes depth and smooth character.

The distinctive top note, reminiscent of traditional naval rations, creates a gentle boozy sweetness that enhances rather than masks the natural tobacco flavors.

Fribourg & Treyer’s meticulous craftsmanship shines through their traditional processing method. The blended tobaccos rest for several days before being cold-pressed into 10-pound cakes for several weeks. This careful aging process ensures perfect flavor integration and creates the slow-burning characteristics that make this flake ideal for long, relaxed smoking sessions.

The balanced medium strength and mild room note make this blend suitable for both seasoned enthusiasts and those exploring classic tobacco traditions. Its well-rounded taste profile offers natural sweetness, subtle spice, and depth that captures the essence of centuries-old tobacco craftsmanship.
