Kendal dark is the big and bold member of the Kendal Shag family. Being the unpressed version of Dark Plug & Flake, this tobacco still carries the big nicotine hit, dark musky flavours and all the boldness. If you enjoy the traditional strong blends of dark fired with a hint of flue cured, then this is a must for you.
We use this in a number of our blends to add depth and strength to a tobacco. Thanks to the lack of sugar rich, flue cured leaf this tobacco is very smooth and cool to smoke.
Not everyone wants a complex blend of tobaccos. The Kendal Shag tobaccos, made by Gawith Hoggarth are simple, Virginia tobaccos with or without top dressings. Made using the same Virginia leaves that feature in the iconic blends like; Ennerdale Flake, Bright CR and Balkan Mixture.
Coming in a number of strengths, based on blend of either Bright Leaf or Dark Fired.
- Kendal Gold – All bright leaf
- Kendal No6 – Mainly bright with a little fired
- Kendal Mixed – Pretty much 50/50 of the two
- Kendal No7 – Mainly dark fired with some bright leaf
- Kendal Dark - All dark fired leaf
