Mr. Christian’s 1928 Preserve

1928 Preserve is built on red and bright Virginia, white Burley, and dark-fired Burley leaf, topped with a small amount of cocoa and cream aroma. The maker describes the blend as an American-Danish-style mixture made in memory of the discontinued McClelland product 1928 Reserve; it's offered as 2 oz. bulk and reissued seasonally in winter.

Rather than a complex structure, the goal is a flat, balanced smoke that can be enjoyed without much attention. Suited to indoor smokers who don't want to leave a heavy scent in the room and who want a lightly sweet background note.
