Royal Blend

Royal is a mixture Peretti offers under its English-type heading, but built on oriental leaf rather than latakia. Per the maker's description, matured Virginia is combined with select oriental tobaccos, with a high proportion of Yenice leaf used in the blend. Yenice sits at the sweeter, more floral end of the oriental group, so the mixture carries a spicy mellowness rather than sharpness.

With no smoky component, the profile differs markedly from latakia-heavy English blends. It suits smokers seeking the oriental leaf's character balanced by Virginia sweetness. The ribbon cut and medium moisture level allow it to be packed straight from the tin.
