Park-Lane No. 15

Description: Our fullest English mixture yet. This blend is a combination of our No. 12 full English and a generous amount of Louisiana Perique. For those who enjoy full English style mixtures with Perique.

No. 15 has a wonderful pouch aroma of Perique and Latakia. The blend reminds me a great deal of Dunhill Nightcap, being a soft and smooth smoke from the beginning and an equally smooth finish. I call it No. 12 on steroids!! Blend No. 12 is a rich and full English blend with nearly 50% Cyprian Latakia which produces a cool and smoky flavor. The Cyprian Latakia is mixed with golden, red and stoved Virginia’s and various different Turkish tobaccos.

The addition of Perique in No. 15 amplifies the full taste of No. 12. While I often times prefer Syrian Latakia over Cyprian, I love the deep flavor and aroma of No. 15. Many of my fellow pipe smokers like this type of blend for later in the day, but I smoke No. 15 all day! This is one of my all time favorite Park-Lane blends. If you like blends with Latakia and Perique…you owe it to yourself to try this mixture.
