James Fox Anniversary Mixture

Anniversary Mixture is a house blend James J. Fox tobacconist, founded in Dublin in 1881, prepared for its founding anniversary. It's part of the 50-gram tin series the Grafton Street shop sells under its own name, and is described as a ready-rubbed mixture combining Virginia and Oriental leaf. According to the maker's description, what sets the blend apart is a mango note layered over the leaf base — giving the classic Virginia-Oriental skeleton a lightly fruity coating. Body is kept medium.
