The Stout - Rich Broadcut
English
 |
|
To those who think, "Latakia = Strong", here was The
Stout to change that thinking. It's a broadcut mixture with striking
bright and dark tobaccos - though these colors may have muted
over the years. The first pleasure of The Stout came upon opening
the tin and smelling in its initial aroma. Then detangling the
compressed tobacco from its tin. Wow, and we haven't even packed
the bowl yet... |

In its time there was no tobacco like The Stout. Approximately
half the blend was a mixture of Lakatias - unheard of in its
day. Yet The Stout was the most mellow of E&C's English mixtures,
though one wouldn't call it mild. This mixture has a richness
which could be enjoyed all day, and yet our offices were often
filled with "Stout Smoke" at 8:30am. A special tobacco
- which even the very low key Mr. McConnell felt was an, "accomplishment." |

The Stout was an Elephant & Castle original. As with all
the tobaccos in the Elephant & Castle range, tins of "The
Stout" was hand blended in the McConnell factory on Barking
Road in London, England. It is at least 13 years old. For more
