Classic Burley Kake

Classic Burley Kake is a Hearth & Home blend that harks back to old-style Burley flakes and cakes. The mixture uses Burley leaf from Tennessee and Kentucky, ranging from pale cream to dark mahogany, joined by a measure of aged red Virginia. The blend is pressed into a cake and offered pre-sliced.

It carries a top-dressing oriented toward cocoa, rum, and a touch of anise, which rounds out the tobacco's nutty, bready base without masking it. The smoke is full-bodied and the taste mildly sweet. The pressed structure supports a cool burn. Well suited to smokers who enjoy traditional American Burley flakes and want a sweetish everyday blend without going heavy into aromatics.
