Barclay Rex No. 6 is an American-style blend balancing burley, Virginia and a touch of casing from Barclay Rex, ready-rubbed, so it packs straight from the tin.
Burley, Cavendish, Latakia, Virginia make up the leaf. Burley is an air-cured leaf with a dry, nutty, cocoa-like quality and low sugar. Cavendish processing softens the leaf into a sweet, easy-smoking base. Latakia, a fire-cured Oriental leaf, brings the smoky, incense-like campfire character that defines English and Balkan blends. Virginia tobacco lends a natural grassy, hay-like sweetness and gentle citrus tang that deepens with age.
