Strawberry

Low Country Pipe & Cigar is a tobacconist based in Little River, South Carolina; it prepares its blends by hand and sells most of them in bulk. Strawberry is one of the most directly fruit-flavored members of this bulk aromatic line. The body of this fine ribbon-cut blend is carried by Virginia leaf, accompanied in a smaller proportion by black cavendish; the strawberry casing is the dominant note both in the pouch and in the burn.

Nicotine is low and the smoke is soft; thanks to the fine cut it lights easily even when moist and needs no long drying. Aimed at smokers seeking a pronounced fruit note rather than natural tobacco character and wanting a light aromatic to smoke all day. Compared to the harsher-on-the-tongue type of aromatics, it offers a smooth, calm burn.
