Embarcadero (Fog City Selection)

Embarcadero is an untopped blend in G. L. Pease's Fog City Selection line, built from Virginia and Turkish Oriental leaf. After pressing, it is presented in broken-flake form. The producer states the Oriental leaf in the blend is of Izmir origin.

Virginia stands out with both sweet and pronounced tobacco taste; Izmir leaf's oily, sweet character sits alongside it without overpowering it, keeping the sweet and spicy notes in balance. Records note it arrives moist from the tin; airing it thoroughly both lengthens the smoke and opens up the flavours. It suits smokers wanting to focus on the Oriental leaf up front, who smoke untopped blends.
