Player's Medium Navy Cut

Medium Navy Cut is the medium-bodied pipe interpretation of the Navy Cut line from the Nottingham house John Player & Sons. The brand joined Imperial Tobacco in 1901, and the Navy Cut name became widespread in Britain from the late 19th century onward. Reports indicate this medium-strength member of the line reached a particularly wide following in the south of England. The blend is built by adding Burley to a Virginia-heavy base, presented pressed and sliced as flake. It is plain in flavoring, with a bready, herbal character; nicotine is medium. When the pipe tobacco division split off from Imperial, the line fell outside its scope and production stopped at the end of 2015.
