Auld Kendal Gold Latakia Tobacco The Auld Kendal Gold Turkish is a brand new blend introduced in 2016 for the hand rolling connoisseur looking for something a little different. The blend uses the unrivaled Gold Virginia that Gawith and Hoggarth are famous for blended carefully with a discreet addition of the fire cured Latakia leaf. The result is a clean smooth smoking tobacco with smokey undertones coming from the Latakia. All of the tobacco's in the Auld Kendal range are very clean, containing very little of the stem and produce a very natural flavour without the chemical harshness present in many modern tobaccos.
