And So To Bed

And So To Bed is the only blend in the Esoterica line not named for an English coastal town. It is made by combining aged virginia and maryland leaves with Greek orientals and Cyprus latakia; after blending, the mixture undergoes an additional aging process. It is ribbon cut.

Latakia is clearly present but stays measured compared to the series' more soot-forward blends; the orientals' spicy, dry-herbal tone and virginia sweetness come through. As its name suggests, it suits those seeking a slow-smoked, medium-bodied English mixture for the day's last bowl.
