Baby’s Bottom has been one of the most requested tobaccos from the old Dunhill selection. When the brand was being revived a few years ago, this blend was dropped due to its name. To get around this the blend has been renamed to “My Mixture BB1938”, a name more commonly used within the old London factory. We gather Baby’s Bottom got its name thanks to the tobaccos smooth smoking qualities. A rich and robust blend of Virginias and a helping of Latakia. The base is comprised of a well-rounded blend of Red, Lemon and Orange Virginia, with a premium Cypriot Latakia. Thanks to the solid base, this tobacco is punchy and packed full of ripe and spicy flavours. The name might give the impression of a mellow tobacco, BB1938 is actually a powerful smoke and more suited for more experienced smokers. While its strong, the Latakia and careful selection of Virginia’s result in a smooth and cool smoke.
Nice find and mention Wiggy [MENTION=13417760]Wigan[/MENTION][emoji106] I'd not known about this (well, not that I would anyway tbh, apart from gazing at tins in my local B&Ms. Can't do that now can we?[emoji53])
It reads well. I'll ask about this on Thursday. Perhaps I could even pop it in my old tin[emoji6]
Picked it up at a carboot in North Wales a few years back.
TAD n PAD ay wiggy? Let us know how you get on with it as the original, above, looks like it used to be fairly mellow whereas the new BB mixture sounds more pokey, which I personally prefer
