Description

    Long cut Virginia and latakia, pressed into perfection.
    Notes: Bengal Slices was, originally, the flake version of Balkan Sobranie. When Gallaher took over the Sobranie mixtures from the Redman family the original blenders finding the composition too complex and costly, they simplified it. After Gallaher stopped making the simplified Bengal Slices, Mr James B Russell arranged for a composition similar to the Gallaher revision to be made exclusively for them by A & C Petersen, Horsens, Denmark. A & C Petersen has recently been sold to Orlik A/S, of Assens, Denmark, which promptly discontinued the manufacture of Bengal Slices. A replacement, under the James B Russell ægis, has been released, approximating the A & C Petersen blend. FOR THE NEW PRODUCTION BENGAL SLICES SEE LISTING UNDER The Standard Tobacco Company of Pennsylvania
    Climate controlled cellar (vintage hydrate to one’s taste)
