Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides is a Balkan-style blend, leaning on Oriental leaf and Latakia over a Virginia base from Dan Tobacco, pressed into flakes you rub out or fold-and-stuff; it packs slowly and burns cool.
Kentucky, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginia make up the leaf. Dark-fired Kentucky brings a bold, smoky, savory depth. 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. Virginia tobacco lends a natural grassy, hay-like sweetness and gentle citrus tang that deepens with age.
