Bugler Pipe Tobacco - Blue

Bugler is a brand that launched in the United States in 1932, known for many years for its roll-your-own tobacco; per records, Lane Limited, which runs the brand, joined the Scandinavian Tobacco Group in 2011. Blue is the base blend in the brand's pipe tobacco line, built on combining long-fiber light-colored Virginia leaf with dark, mahogany-toned Burley. The cut is wide ribbon, and because the tobacco's moisture is kept low it catches quickly once loaded into the pipe. Its character is plain and tobacco-forward: Burley's dry, nutty, earthy tone sits over a lightly sweet-tart base from the Virginia. Casing use is kept to a minimum, so no aromatic profile should be expected. Nicotine is on par with similar American blends sold over the counter.
