This fine tobacco originally had no name. It was blended before the first World War especially for the Very Reverend Dr. John White, sometime minister of the Barony Kirk in Glasgow and Moderator of the General Assembly in Scotland in 1929. He introduced it to Stanley Baldwin, later Earl Baldwin, Prime Minister in 1923, 1924, and 1935. He liked it so much that regular supplies were sent down to him and it was he who suggested that it be called "Presbyterian Mixture." A a pipe tobacco Presbyterian mixture is an English blend with a light application of Latakia combined with Orientals and Virginias.
