Reiver Pipes & Tobacco Invictus Maneo

Invictus Maneo is a layered Scottish-style mixture built on red Virginias with Latakia, dark-fired Kentucky, Izmir Oriental, and Perique added. Kentucky and Latakia together form a dark, smoky, earthy base, while Virginia sweetness balances that weight; Perique adds peppery sharpness and the Oriental leaf brings dry spice. It is counted among Reiver Pipes & Tobacco's first releases. The brand is run by Dan Armstrong, who prepares his blends in small batches.
