Winding Road is is a mellow mixture that stands between aromatic and English style blends. The mixture consists of Bright Virginias tempered with mellower brown Virginias, with a touch of black Cavendish for piquancy, finished with subtle notes of creamy caramel and apricot for a delicate taste and fragrance. Its room note is very pleasant and won't run people off - perfect for an everyday natural smoke - and an ideal addition to your tobacco cellar.
