The Kendal Dark is the same blend of full strength Dark Malawi and Indian tobacco leaves as the Auld Kendal Dark but the strands are cut thicker. These tobacco leaves have been fired and air cured to bring out the full strength and flavours for the enjoyment of the experienced smoker. We would not recommend the Kendal Dark tobacco for the novice smoker. All of the tobacco's in the 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. All of the tobacco's in the Kendal Shag Tobacco 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.
