Tabak-No. 4

Kontor-Tabak No. 4 is, per the manufacturer's description, a full-bodied flake prepared for smokers who love matured natural tobaccos. The blend brings together golden and red Virginia leaves, Kentucky and a small amount of Perique.

The pressed slices burn very slowly, evenly and cool. The floral sweetness from golden Virginia, Kentucky's toasted-leaf scent and Perique's measured spice come through layer by layer. Since it's above medium in nicotine, it's aimed at experienced smokers seeking a full body; whether the flake is rubbed or folded before packing determines the burn pattern.
