Smoking Experience

Robert Lewis Tree Mixture is praised for its complexity and smoothness. The Latakia is present but not overpowering, harmonizing well with the spicy Orientals and sweet Virginias. It’s considered a good blend for those who appreciate classic English mixtures and want a rich but not overwhelming smoke.

It’s often compared to other premium English blends like Dunhill 965 or Balkan Sobranie, though it maintains its own distinct character.
