Per the email from SP:
I've liked all the Drucquer blends I've tried. They're all fairly complex mixtures. I'll try this one at some point.
Building on over 180 years of tobacco-blending tradition and under the considerable expert direction of Gregory Pease, Drucquer & Sons latest release, The Merry Monk, is available now exclusively at Smokingpipes.
The Merry Monk is an expertly blended English-style flake mixture comprising Red and Bright Virginias, artfully seasoned by complementary portions of smoky Cypriot Latakia and piquant St. James Perique, and balanced with White Burley and lightly sweet toasted Black Cavendish. Once blended, the loose mixture is pressed and aged in cakes, then sliced into delicate flakes — combining the flavor-enhancing benefits of the pressing process and the convenience of preparation afforded by sliced flakes. In the tin, The Merry Monk’s aromas are opulent and complex — punctuated by nutty and sour notes with a captivating allure of smoky zest. On the palate, the blend is medium-to-full-bodied yet approachable in flavor and strength, balancing a tangy sweetness with whispers of subtle woodsmoke and a creamy, nutty finish.
