John Aylesbury Mixture No 888

888 is the fullest-bodied step in John Aylesbury's numbered aromatic series. The blend, built from Virginia and black Cavendish leaf, is prepared as a fine-cut mixture and offered in 50- and 200-gram packages. Its casing carries cherry and vanilla notes. The maker describes the blend as an everyday tobacco running light to medium-bodied, balanced, and burning evenly. The casing is kept measured enough not to bury the tobacco's own taste.
