Ken Byron Ventures Claymore is a Scottish blend — Virginia-led with a light smoky whisper from Ken Byron Ventures, partially rubbed-out flakes that pack easily while still burning slow and cool.
Latakia, Perique, Turkish, Virginia make up the leaf. 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. 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.
