Capriccioso

Capriccioso is a tinned mixture blended by Scandinavian Tobacco Group under the Italian pipe brand Baraccini. Measured Latakia and Perique are added to a traditional American body built on Burley and Virginia; a barely perceptible dried-fruit sweetness is worked over it. This structure re-creates the tangy-sweet, lightly smoky balance of old-style tinned blends.

The burn is cool, and the flavor side is layered: Burley's nutty dryness, Perique's spicy sharpness, and Latakia's woody trace appear in turn. Nicotine is medium. It suits those looking for a balanced tinned blend, neither fully English nor fully aromatic, that can be smoked all day.
