The third, but by no means the least, of the three John Cotton's mixtures revived by Russ Oullette, John Cotton's Smyrna is a rich satisfying smoke. While JC Mild was a perfectly balanced quartet, and JC 1&2 Medium was a harmonious duet, JC Smyrna is a rapturous trio. What all of these mixtures share in common are perfectly proportioned components, which complement each other to arrive at a sum that is much greater than its parts.
The trio is sweet and smoky latakia, sweet, sour and spicy orientals, and smoothly sweet Virginia. It happily takes to the match, burns well and easily, producing creamy clouds of smoke, and leaves a dry bowl. Richly flavorful, this is tobacco to savor while wrapped in contemplation.
