Summer Reserve

Summer Reserve is the summer edition of Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s seasonal Reserve series. Mild Virginia leaf is combined with sweet black Cavendish and Burley, topped with a gin-and-tonic-reminiscent flavoring.

The topping's juniper-and-citrus axis pairs with Virginia's herbal sweetness; the smoke carries a refreshing top note and nicotine stays measured. Being a limited seasonal release, it isn't in continuous production. An entry for those wanting to try a topping outside the usual fruit-and-vanilla axis of aromatics.
