Flavor & Aroma Profile
Batch 001 emphasizes the natural sweetness of well-matured Virginias—often described as bready, lightly citrusy, and gently honeyed—supported by Orientals that lend subtle spice, floral nuances, and a refined depth without overpowering the base leaf. The result is a smooth, well-balanced smoke with a soft, nostalgic room note.
