Neapolitan

Neapolitan is one of the house blends Milan Tobacconists, in business in Roanoke, Virginia since 1912, prepares at its own counter. According to the maker's description, the blend is built by bringing together three separate cavendish leaves; the aim is to meet the chocolate, vanilla, and cherry trio of Neapolitan-style tri-color ice cream in tobacco form. Though the casing intensity is pronounced, the leaf side is kept light, so the nicotine load stays low.

Suitable for those looking for a sweet aromatic that can be lit at any hour and doesn't tire the tongue, and for smokers new to the pipe wanting to get to know cavendish-based blends. The aroma it leaves in the room is sweet and bakery-like. Milan blends are mostly sold loose, by the ounce and pound, at the shop and through the maker's own website.
