🌿 Composition & Cut

• Tobaccos:
  • Cyprian Latakia – dominant, providing intense smokiness and depth.
  • Orientals/Turkish – add spice and incense-like aroma.
  • Virginias – contribute natural sweetness and balance.
• Cut: Plug format—a solid block of pressed leaf. Requires slicing or rubbing out before smoking, allowing customization of preparation and burn rate.

🍂 Flavor Profile

• Tin Note: Heavy Latakia smokiness with hints of leather, wood, and a subtle sweetness from Virginias.
• Taste:
  • First Light: Bold, campfire-like smokiness with underlying sweetness.
  • Mid-Bowl: Orientals introduce spice and complexity; Virginias add bready, slightly tangy notes.
  • Finish: Smooth, dry, and lingering with rich smoky character.
• Overall Character: A full-bodied English blend—intense yet refined, ideal for Latakia enthusiasts.

🧭 Strength & Room Note

• Strength: Medium to strong (nicotine is noticeable).
• Flavor Intensity: Full-bodied and robust.
• Room Note: Heavy, smoky aroma—distinctive and bold.

🔥 Smoking Experience

• Burn Quality: Cool and slow when sliced thin and packed properly.
• Moisture: Usually ready to smoke; a short dry time after slicing can improve performance.
• Technique: Slice to desired thickness—thin for quicker burn, thicker for a longer, richer smoke.

🌟 Aging Potential
