John Cotton's Number Three is a great addition to their English blend lineup. Like most of their other Latakia-based blends, there are wonderful Virginias and Orientals joining smoky Cyprian Latakia, but what sets Number Three apart is the addition of just enough Perique to add depth, spice and sweetness, making this a perfect late-evening repast.
A nice blend, enjoy the perique however I personally prefer a little more Latakia with the perique. Not a deterant though will enjoy!

One of the very best English blends there is

I'm excited to write this review. This is one of my favorite tobacco blends of all time. It is so flavorful and so satisfying, the quintessential English blend. This is an unsung hero mixture for the pipe and everyone who loves English blends should try it. John Cotton's Number 3 is as good as it gets.

Didn't like the first bowl, but after a week I tried it again and I love this blend. Great smokey flavor.

A Rich and Flavourful English Blend
Mar 05, 2017
I really like this blend. My pallet is not as refined as a lot of people's as I don't seem to be able to pick out all of the subtle hints of this and that and pears picked on the third day of August etc. But I do know what I like, and I really like this blend. The perique is obvious but not overpowering. It seems to bring out the flavours of the other tobaccos and bring them together in a very well balanced mixture. Along with the Cerebrus by Hearth and Home, this has become one of my favourite English blends. I will be getting this again.
