Red Queen V
Scandinavian Tobacco Group purchased Sutliff Tobacco and they will be moving the operations overseas. When STG did this with Lane's Tobacco they cut the tobacco line. Red Queen V was the first blend (well fifth iteration) I made with commercial components. Given it will be unknown if the components will be available after operation cease here in the USA, I am publishing the recipe. This is not to be confused with Red Queen Plug which is made from raw leaf tobacco that can be obtained from WholeLeafTobacco.com.
Here is what you need to make a 100g of Red Queen V
| Red Queen V | ||
| Grams | Percent | |
| Sutliff 515 RC-1 Red Virginia | 40 | 40% |
| Sutliff 507-S Stoved Virginia | 18 | 18% |
| Sutliff TS20 Perique | 30 | 30% |
| Sutliff TS-3 Cavendish | 12 | 12% |
| Totals | 100 | 100% |
Red Queen Plug made from whole leaf
The whole leaf version is
- 40% Red Virginia (with plum casing)
- 30% Bright Virginia (with plum casing)
- 30% Perique
I had a jar of Red Queen Plug flakes that had not been opened in 6-8 months. We opened the jar at the CORPS pipe show and boom, ketchup. Yep the famous McClelland's ketchup smell!
