The blend
Burley, Kentucky, Latakia, Perique, Virginia make up the leaf. Burley is an air-cured leaf with a dry, nutty, cocoa-like quality and low sugar. 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. 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.
