Ashton Old Dog

Old Dog is a full-bodied English mixture produced for Ashton, later continued by McClelland. At the blend's center is cool, smoky Cyprus Latakia; joined by Macedonian Xanthi Oriental, rested sweet Virginias, and smooth black Cavendish. Its color is dark and the smoke is heavy; the Oriental spiciness adds sharpness to Latakia's smoky base, while Virginia and Cavendish add a sweet counterweight. Its production ended when McClelland closed and the recipes weren't transferred.
