An exotic mixture, vivacious yellow (lemon) Virginias and contrasting black Cavendish and brown Burley with exotic fruit extracts. An exquisite smoking experience. Blended by hand in Germany.

The rather tart and tangy lemon Virginias are citrusy with a light grassiness, and are the lead component. The nutty, earthy, woody, molasses sweet brown burley is a supporting player with a pinch or two of spice. The unsweetened black cavendish offers some sugar. The exotic sweet and slightly sour fruit toppings seem to contain some mango, kiwi, apricot, clove and pepper-like spices, and I’m not sure what else. They dominate the tobaccos to a fair extent. The strength is just shy of the center of mild to medium, while the taste is a step past that. Has a mild nic-hit. Won’t bite, but will give you a little tongue warmth and tingle if puffed fast, so I recommend a slow pace. Has no roughness. Well balanced, it burns clean at a reasonable pace with a very consistent, rich flavor. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasantly lingering after taste, and room note. Can be an all day smoke.
