Des tabacs choisis avec soin, une expérience de 100 ans, en font ce mélange aromatique et avantageux.
Notes: Several Virginias, of various cuts & colors, and Swiss Burley.
Synjeco's website description: I had problems deciding whether to class this blend as aromatic or among the natural tobacco blends. The pouch aroma is of a vaguely flavored tobacco; however, when smoked it tastes as a natural quality blend. The room aroma is very pleasant and discretely sweet. I'd recommend it for those who like natural tobaccos and are looking to such a tobacco that has a sweet aroma to others.

The Virginias act as a base for the burley, a little citrus sweet and slightly grassy. The burley is nutty with a smooth, sweet molasses flavor, and a little cocoa. Does not have any chemical notes and gives a clean tobacco taste. Has a very mild nic-hit. I think some sugar and molasses come from toppings. Burns at a reasonable pace, cool, clean and even with no harshness, no sludge, and a consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and needs an average number of relights. Has a pleasant after taste. No chance of bite. Think of it as an American-style OTC in the vein of Carter Hall with a little more Virginia and a slight fuller, consistent flavor. It's not quite as sweet as CH, but unlike that blend, it does not have the habit of losing its sweetness near the finish. A two and a half star smoke.
