Ashton Winding Road

This aromatic blend is refreshingly balanced, with just the right sweetness and stone fruit flavors that enhance the natural Virginias. It was a pleasant surprise after reading some reviews. The tin note offers a hint of apricot paired with a rich Virginia scent. The moisture level is ideal, requiring no drying before packing. While not an English blend, it isn’t heavily topped like many aromatics, allowing the tobacco’s natural flavors to come through. There's no bite, and the ribbon cut is spot on. Highly recommended for beginners due to its ease of use and packing. It smokes well in both Rattray's Outlaw Devil Anse and larger pipes.
