Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa is an aromatic blend built on Dan Tobacco's own house-made black Cavendish. The maker states the Cavendish is heat-fermented under press, yielding a leaf that stays soft despite its pronounced sweetness. The blend is prepared as ready-rubbed flake; a small amount of light-colored Mysore Virginia is added to lighten the appearance.

The casing is described as fruity and fresh, kept light enough not to mask the tobacco's own sweetness. Nicotine is low, giving a cool smoke. Suited to smokers who lean aromatic but want to avoid heavy syrupy blends, and who like flake texture. Distributed in 100- and 250-gram packagings.
