Want to Try a Scottish Blend...

[tzinc]

I have been smoking English, Oriental and Balkan blends for the most part. I would love a recommendation for a Scottish Blend to try it seems that Scottish Blends contain Cavendish and the others do not is that correct?

Pretty much.

Red Raparee is one I like.

Match 20. It is the Match blend to Dunhill 965 It is closer to the original than the current STG (Peterson) version. 965 was once considered the definitive Scottish blend.

+1 for recommending Match 20 is smokes well and is very reasonably priced.
Happy smokes

Don't forget, however, that "Scottish" is a marketing term, without a precise definition.

When you open the tin, listen carefully for the sound of bag pipes.
Very faint and fleeing....

Followed by the pungent smell of fresh haggis .....
