Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. New Prince

New Prince is an aromatic Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. tobacco built mainly on light golden Virginia leaf, with a few dark flue-cured strands mixed in. The topping sits on a maple-and-vanilla axis; the sweetness is pronounced, but maple's salty-syrupy edge keeps the topping from being a one-note sugar. The cut sits between shag and ribbon, slightly thicker than a classic shag, which eases packing and lighting. Body and taste stay light to medium, burning cool with a patient draw.
