Wilke Pipe Tobacco Surbrug's Golden Sceptre

Surbrug's Golden Sceptre is among the Surbrug recipes Wilke carries with the widest leaf variety. According to the maker's recipe, two different Burleys, red Virginia, and long-cut Virginia are brought together, topped with Latakia. In the smoke, Cyprian Latakia's profile opens up, Burley carries the nutty, spicy body, the Virginias leave a fruity, tart edge, and Perique adds a subtle spice layer. It's a complex record that stays in the medium strength band and burns cool and clean. Due to its intensity, it's meant for particular sessions rather than repeated all-day bowls.
