Toasted cavendish laced with Latakia, then blended with white burley and golden Virginia to produce a sweet, fuller bodied smoke, yet cool and slow burning.
The grassy, tart and tangy citrusy Virginia also sports a few drops of honey as the lead component. The nutty, earthy, woody, lightly sharp, lightly molasses sweet burley should be a supporting player, but doesn’t quite have the impact that it should. The sugary black cavendish almost over takes the burley. The smoky, woody, sweet Cyprian Latakia is a condiment. The vanilla topping leads the others, and lacks depth. There a little creamy caramel and perhaps a touch of molasses in the mix as well. They sublimate the tobaccos to a moderate extent. The strength is a couple of steps past the mild level, while the taste just falls short of the center of mild to medium. The nic-hit is fairly mild. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable rate with a very consistent flavor that translates to the short lived after taste. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, and requires a few relights as it burns a little wet. An all day smoke.
