Rocinante

Rocinante belongs to a limited, aged series released by German blender Hans Wiedemann under the HU Tobacco brand. Taking its name from Don Quixote's horse, the blend is built by adding Burley, a small amount of Kentucky, and a touch of Perique atop four separate Virginia leaves. The distinguishing feature of the series is that not just the raw leaves but the finished blend has also been rested for roughly two years; this resting softens and rounds out the Virginia's tart sweetness.
