Dunhill Apéritif (2017) is a Scottish blend — Virginia-led with a light smoky whisper from Dunhill, a ribbon cut that packs easily and lights readily for a straightforward smoke.
Cavendish, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginia make up the leaf. Cavendish processing softens the leaf into a sweet, easy-smoking base. 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.
