Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

Tordenskjold Virginia Slices is a pressed blend that brings together select Virginia grades with Louisiana Perique. The mixture is aged for twelve weeks under light pressure fermentation, then cut into thin slices; it belongs to a series named for Danish naval history.

The smoke is cool and even, with the sweetness of golden Virginias coming through clearly, while the Perique adds a peppery spice and a touch of fruity depth. Strength stays medium. Being a flake, it calls for some preparation before packing. Well suited to smokers who enjoy a straightforward Virginia/Perique construction and are considering cellaring a tin.
