Tuggle Hall

English

Tuggle Hall has been in production since 1996 and draws frequent comparisons to Dunhill 965, though the construction is genuinely different. What makes it unusual as an English-style blend is the absence of Virginia entirely. Most English mixtures use Virginia as the foundation and sweeten the Latakia with it, but Tuggle Hall replaces Virginia with white Burley, which gives the blend a drier, nuttier character and a cooler smoke. Cyprian Latakia provides the smoke and leather, the Burley provides body and a mild nuttiness, and a restrained measure of Perique adds spice without taking over. The result reads as English in spirit but distinctly American in construction. Ribbon cut. Medium to full in body, medium to strong in strength.
