WhiteKnight 10th Anniversary

WhiteKnight is the best-known blend in Hearth & Home's Marquee line, built to keep alive the memory of the 1970s Balkan Sobranie Original Smoking Mixture. Its composition includes light Virginia leaves, Orientals — among them Yenice, referred to as the "queen of tobaccos" — and Cyprus Latakia. The 10th Anniversary edition is a special release prepared for the tenth anniversary of the blend's launch.

As expected of Balkan style, Latakia smokiness and the Oriental's dry spice lead; Virginia lays a sweet base beneath this structure. Body runs between medium and medium-full, while flavor intensity is high. The aroma left in the room is pronounced and lingers for a long time. It's aimed at those looking for Balkan and English-style, unflavored, smoke-forward blends.
