The blend
Burley, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Perique make up the leaf. Burley is an air-cured leaf with a dry, nutty, cocoa-like quality and low sugar. Latakia, a fire-cured Oriental leaf, brings the smoky, incense-like campfire character that defines English and Balkan blends. Oriental (Turkish) leaf contributes dry, sour-sweet spice and a herbal, aromatic edge. Perique, pressure-fermented in Louisiana, adds peppery spice and dark stewed-fruit depth.
