Boker Or - Morning Light

Morning Light (Boker Or) is a member of Cornell & Diehl's series carrying Hebrew names; the name means "morning light." The ribbon-cut blend's backbone is built from light but full-bodied Oriental leaves. Over this comes raisin-like perique, soft stoved red Virginia, and a small amount of sweetened black cavendish.

Though the manufacturer places the blend in the Virginia family, its character is defined by the Oriental leaf's spicy, dry-grass side; perique adds spice, and cavendish a measured sweetness. It suits those looking for a medium-strength, Latakia-free Oriental blend to smoke at the start of the day.
