Cucumber

Cucumber is one of German manufacturer Kleinlagel's unusually themed blends. Dark ready-rubbed flake, some Perique, soft Black Cavendish and wide-cut Virginia are brought together; the mixture is flavored with fresh cucumber and rested dried-fruit aromas. Perique's spice, combined with the cucumber theme, leaves a dill-like line.

Nicotine is low, taste is measured; the cucumber note doesn't dominate, and dried-fruit sweetness stays in the background. Suited to those wanting to try an unusual aroma and familiar with the Virginia-Perique structure. It was sold in a 50-gram tin; per retailer records, it's been delisted.
