This blend is anchored by a generous proportion of burley, forming a solid, earthy foundation with dry, nutty undertones and a naturally robust body. Light fire-cured leaf is applied with restraint, contributing a muted smokiness that adds texture rather than intensity. Latakia plays a supporting role, lending a dark, woodsy depth, while a measured portion of Perique introduces a subtle fermented edge and faint spice that rounds out the profile.
The overall aroma is distinctly leathery, marked by impressions of aged wood, and restrained smoke. Well-balanced despite its bold components, the blend emphasizes structure and depth, presenting a traditional character with layered complexity and a firmly grounded burley presence.
