Von Eicken Rosebud - Country Cut

The Virginias offer some tangy dark fruit and tart and tangy citrus, grass, earth, wood, bread, light floral vegetation and acidity, along with a few pinches of spice as the lead component. The crushed rose petals have an obvious floral quality along with a light tart, sour sweetness as a secondary player. The sugary black cavendish processed tobaccos are topped with tart, sour and tangy sweet citrus and tropical fruits as well as a floral essence I can’t define. The strength and nic-hit are a couple of steps past the mild mark. The taste is just short of medium. Won’t bite, but fast puffing may result in a light tongue warming. Has a few small rough edges. The tobacco is fairly dry, so it burns a tad fast, and clean with a very consistent sweet and mildly sour, floral flavor that translates to the short lived, pleasant after taste, and room note. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Can be an all day smoke.
