Fribourg & Treyer 34th Mixture is a fairly light Scottish-style blend consisting of excellent Virginias, a rich unflavored black Cavendish and dark, smoky Latakia. Even though the flavor is gentle, this is a thoroughly satifying tobacco.
This was very nice. A quintessential English blend, not too shy on the Latakia. Well-harmonized and good burning.

Unexpected pleasure
May 01, 2016
Scottish blends rank amongst my favorites, so the description on this heretofore unknown-to-me brand appealed. The cut ('double broadcut') was also new to me, and I must say, I like it. At first lighting, you get an almost vanilla-caramel taste, very unexpected for a blend in this category, and the burn is very even throughout the duration of the bowl. No bite whatsoever, even if I "pushed it" a bit. I expect to go through the tin quite swiftly and shall be trying out the F&T line in near future. Recommended!
