Kiboko

Kiboko is one of Dan Tobacco's heavily fruit-cased aromatics. Its body is built from black Cavendish made with African-origin leaf, joined by some Virginia. The casing centers on a sweet cherry and lychee pairing, clearly noticeable both in the tin note and while smoking. The name means "hippopotamus" in Swahili, spoken in East Africa.

The Cavendish-heavy construction brings low nicotine, a cool burn, and a sweet mouthfeel. Suited to smokers looking for a heavily aromatic blend who don't mind pronounced fruit notes taking precedence over tobacco flavor. Its character may come across as too dominant for those accustomed to unflavored Virginia or Latakia mixtures.
