Dark Fired Shag

Dark Fired Shag is a nearly black, very finely shag-cut Virginia tobacco. The leaf is darkened through a steaming process; this process files down the leaf's sharpness, leaving a deep, full flavor that is not harsh on the tongue. Because of the fine cut it catches quickly, so it should not be packed tightly when filling.

Charles Fairmorn is a German firm whose origins are traced to an old Lübeck tobacco import house; it was founded in Hamburg in 1978, moved to Dingelstädt in 1996, and to Lübeck in 2006. This record is aimed at smokers seeking an unflavored, dark Virginia smoke with the quick pace of a shag cut.
