BUY BRITISH The Kendal Exmoor mixture is Gawith Hoggarths answer to the mourning prayers of those smokers who are grieving the loss of a loved one "Ogden's Exmoor Hunt" The exmoor mixture is not exactly the same as the original (as they would be in breach of copyright) but it does bear a close resemblance and many have even remarked on it being better!! The Exmoor mixture is a traditional easy smoke blended from choice Virginia leaf blended with Cavendish, latakia and other select aromatic leaves to produce a smoke of unique complex character and flavour.
Latakia: Latakia blends are the marmite of tobacco world "Love it or hate it." Pure it is mainly used as a blending tobacco due to the overpowering flavour it provides. The flavour has a very distinctive tarry odour accompanied by a characterful burnt ash taste, which is due to a long curing process over smokey fires. Most smokers buy small amounts and add a pinch to a bowl full to add depth and character to the smoke. The Latakia is an acquired taste and definitely wouldn't be recommended for the novice smoker.
