Georgetown Tobacco No.1261

No.1261 is one of the house blends sold loose at Georgetown Tobacco's shop in Washington. According to the maker's description, it's a straightforward cube-cut mixture made from selected Burley leaf; it's kept light enough for all-day smoking and designed not to bite the tongue. Because it's Burley-based, its flavor line runs dry, nutty, and bready rather than sweet; since sugar content is low, it burns slowly and cool.
