BUY BRITISH The Kendal Black Irish is a British made Twist tobacco made up of predominantly dark fired leaf with the addition of a small percentage of dark air cured Indian leaf.
Black Twist Black twist is made from Brown twist, which has undergone a further process of cooking under pressure, which turns it black. This cooking process in the Black Twist removes some of the stronger tar and nicotine elements, which produces a less intense smoke than the brown twist but still has a strong intense flavour and wouldn't be recommended for the beginner.
Pigtail Twist: As you might guess from the name the pigtail resembles a pigs tail. There are rumours that pigs tails used to be cut up and smoked but there is no evidence of this. Pigtail has a thinner cross section, which is generally preferred for chewing but can also be used for pipe smoking.
