The Stout - Rich Broadcut
English
|
To those who think, "Latakia = Strong", here was The
Stout to correct 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 from The Stout came
when 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." |
