A Virginia flake, plus the right amount of toasted cavendish flavored to give an excellent taste and aroma.

Love at first whiff. If your preference is aromatic, give this blend a shot. IMHO, it has just the right amount of sweetness and smokes/tastes great when sipped. The room note is outstanding. Would like to know what others think, not many reviews for this blend. Cheers.

This is my first tobacco review and it makes perfect sense it would be for Alkazar. If I had to chose one tobacco to smoke for the rest of my life, this would be it. The first night a buddy of mine and I partook of it on the streets of NYC we were immediately met with the swiftly turning heads of those nearby saying "God that smells amazing." The first time I smoked it indoors at home my wife said "My god you can smoke whatever that is inside whenever you want!" This is one of those tobaccos that tastes as good as it smells. Dark mellow cavendish with a hint of what I would describe as black cherry but this is by no means a goopy overly sweet aromatic. It burns cool and even with a scent that is welcomed by all. It also ages incredibly well as it mellows and deepens in it's dark sweetness. In the future I will be sure to appropriate some for any day enjoyment and some for the cellar. This is the fine wine of aros and should get a lot more attention.

I love this tobacco. It offers a nice smokiness with subtle sweetness and a room note that most will appreciate. A perfect tobacco to please me and those around me.
