HU Tobacco English Breakfast

The red Virginia is a little tangy, fermented dark fruit sweet with some earth, wood, and a hint of bread and spice, and is the most noticeable Va, though it’s really a team player rather than a dominant ingredient. The Cyprian Latakia is very smoky, woody, earthy, musty, and incense-like as it comprises twenty percent of the product as a supporting player. The Orientals offer wood, smoke, herbs, vegetation, earth, little sourness and spice with some buttery sweetness in a supporting role, too. The bright Virginia is tart and tangy citrus sweet with a little grassiness in a secondary role. The black stoved Virginia is stewed fruit sweet with minor earth notes as a back up player. The strength and taste levels are in the center of mild to medium. The nic-hit is a step short of that mark. Won’t bite, and has no harsh or dull moments, and just hints of rough edges. Well blended and complex, you will notice all the flavors to varying degrees in virtually every puff. Ribbon cut for easy, cool, clean burning at a moderate pace with mostly consistent, rich, sweet and savory, lightly campfire flavor that translates to short lived, pleasant after taste and stronger room note. It requires few relights, and barely leaves a drop of moisture in the bowl. An all day smoke, it makes a good starter English blend as well as an enjoyable change from stronger mixtures in this genre.
