Hearth & Home Black House is a Balkan-style blend, leaning on Oriental leaf and Latakia over a Virginia base from Hearth & Home, a ribbon cut that packs easily and lights readily for a straightforward smoke.
Black Cavendish, Kentucky, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Perique, Virginia make up the leaf. Black Cavendish is steamed and pressed for a mellow, sweet, mildly smoky smoothness. 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. Perique, pressure-fermented in Louisiana, adds peppery spice and dark stewed-fruit depth. Virginia tobacco lends a natural grassy, hay-like sweetness and gentle citrus tang that deepens with age.
