Chateau Henri No. 51

Chateau Henri No. 51 is an English mixture formed by blending golden and chocolate-coffee-toned Virginia leaves with Macedonian-origin Oriental tobaccos, rounded out with some Latakia. The Latakia proportion is not kept high enough to dominate the blend; the main body is built by Virginia's sweetness and the Oriental's dry, tart spice.

Given this structure, flavor intensity is pronounced while nicotine sits in the medium band. It is a suitable record for smokers wanting to taste Latakia's smoky character in a measured way over a Virginia base, who lean toward the classic English mixture tradition. The series takes its name from Peter Heinrichs' shop called Chateau Henri in Bergheim.
