Robert McConnell Carolina Gold

Carolina Gold is a light blend combining pale-colored Virginia and Carolina-region leaf with select Burley varieties. Flavoring is measured; the aim is to smooth the smoke without masking the leaf's natural sweetness. Burley adds a dry body and nutty undertone to the blend, while Virginia builds the dominant sweet-herbal character. Nicotine and flavor intensity are low; it lights easily, packs light, and burns for a long time. Reports indicate this line was prepared for Robert McConnell in Denmark; the brand itself traces back to 1848 London.
