Wolfway Brown -Green River

This is a single variety tobacco, straight Burley. It is advertised as 100% handmade Greek tobacco and I do not have reasons to doubt that it is true. I know form discussions with their official retailer in Thessaloniki that the company originates in the city of Xanthi, a small city in North Greece with a long tradition in tobacco cultivation. They are now based in Athens. Since I smoke it for some time, and this is a rather new company, I noticed that over time they improved their process significantly. The moisture is perfect, the pouch smells amazing when opened and it keeps its aroma and condition much longer than most of the other tobaccos I use. The taste and smell is -what i understand as- classic Burley, chocolate, walnut, cocoa and earthy. It has a cigar like taste that I find interesting. It is a bit harsh to smoke alone though, but i guess this is a matter of taste. I have the habit of offering my friends, smokers and non smokers, to smell my tobaccos. This tobacco ranks in the top 3. Most of them find hard to believe that this is actually a pure tobacco with no added aroma.

I really do not like the packaging, the plastic ziplock pouch. There is room for improvement there.

I smoke it for two years now and I always have it on stock. I smoke it almost always blended, but then again, I rarely smoke anything straight as I buy it. I prefer to make my mixture each time I smoke.

I highly recommend this tobacco, especially for those who favor non aromatics and do their own blending.
