Components: Virginia, Perique, Burley
Cut: Broken Flake
Strength: 3/5
Rattray’s Old Gowrie is a traditional broken flake built around a classic combination of Virginia, Burley, and Perique. The tobaccos are pressed before being cut into a ready-to-pack broken flake, offering much of the character associated with pressed blends while requiring less preparation than a full flake.
Each component contributes its own role to the overall profile. Virginia provides the foundation with its naturally sweet character, Burley adds body and depth, while Perique is traditionally used to introduce subtle spice and dark fruit complexity. Together, they create a balanced blend that reflects the classic British style of pipe tobacco and appeals to smokers who appreciate straightforward, naturally flavored mixtures without added toppings.
