Planta Mild English

The combination of Syrian and Cyprian latakia offer a light sweet and savory quality along with a rich smoky, earthy woodiness, some mustiness, a hint of incense, and a very noticeable dry wine-like aspect. The grassy, lightly citrusy Virginia is a condiment, and is mostly buried under the latakias. The strength is just past the center of mild to medium while the taste is a hair short of medium. The nic-hit is almost in the center of mild to medium. No chance of bite or harshness, but does have a slight rough edge. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a very deep, consistent savory flavor, though it has little sweetness. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has pleasantly lingering campfire after taste. This is an all day smoke only if you are an experienced smoker, and is richer than the strength and taste levels indicate.
