Wilke Pipe Tobacco Shipmate

Shipmate comes from the series of blends Wilke prepared for Abercrombie & Fitch, a Latakia-forward English record. According to the maker's description, the Latakia ratio is high, joined by Tennessee Burley and Virginia, with a small amount of Turkish leaf adding a spicy edge. It's unflavored; sweetness comes only from the Virginia, and Burley carries the body. It's offered in bulk, and stock availability is seasonal.
