Pound Cake

Pound Cake is one of the light aromatic blends Leavitt & Peirce sells in bulk at its Harvard Square shop. Per the shop's description, the mixture rests on matured Virginia leaves and its flavor profile is set to evoke a sweet cookie. Casing level isn't heavy; Virginia's own sugar and the flavoring work in the same direction.

Body is light, smoke is soft; nicotine load is low, allowing long smokes. Of interest to those avoiding heavy syrupy aromatics but still wanting a sweet profile, and to those transitioning from aromatics to natural Virginia. A current branch of the shop's house-blend tradition dating back to 1883.
