Rolls

The luxury tobacco composition that is prepared to produce these rolls of tobacco is based on high-quality, carefully selected ripe Virginia tobacco, finished with some traditional cured Perique and Cavendish tobacco.

We have finished the roll with a 'Cavendish Bulls Eye' rather than spread this unique tobacco throughout the mixture. This allows the pipe smoker to sprinkle and mix the tobacco to satisfy their own taste.
