Makhuwa

Makhuwa is a Burley-forward blend that also contains Virginia and Perique. A light chocolate-cocoa tone appears in the tin aroma and in the smoke, but this flavoring doesn't build a dominant layer, instead accompanying the tobacco's nutty body. Perique adds a spicy, lightly fruity edge, while Virginia gives measured sweetness. The burn is clean and cool; nicotine stays at a moderate level.

It's one of the blends HU Tobacco produces in small batches in Germany. It suits smokers looking for a Burley-based, lightly flavored but not quite aromatic structure. It forms an in-between record for those seeking a crossing point between aromatic and plain blends.
