Marble Kake

Marble Kake is an unflavored Virginia blend where bright, red Virginia leaf is pressed tightly into a cake. The cake is prepared either by hand-breaking or by slicing and crumbling; the preparation method also carries through to the taste — finely rubbed out it smokes faster and flatter, while smoked as a thick slice it gives a slower, more intense smoke.

The flavor axis runs toward mild sweetness and light citrus, balanced by the bready depth coming from the red Virginia. Nicotine is light, and it keeps its coolness even when smoked at a faster pace. Suited to smokers willing to prepare cake tobacco who want a straightforward Virginia character.
