Peterson Balkan Mixture is a straight Virginia, showcasing the leaf’s natural grass-and-hay sweetness from Peterson, a ribbon cut that packs easily and lights readily for a straightforward smoke.
Latakia, Perique, 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. Virginia tobacco lends a natural grassy, hay-like sweetness and gentle citrus tang that deepens with age.
