No. 211

No. 211 is an English-type blend that stands out for its high Latakia proportion within the Cologne-based house Peter Heinrichs' self-titled series. Per the maker's description, the mixture's backbone is built from smoky Latakia; Oriental leaf, which adds a spicy twist, Virginia, which provides sweetness and softness, and Java leaf, which adds earthy depth, join it. The ribbon cut gives a packing that lights easily and burns evenly.

The flavor profile is built on a smoky, salty core, with Virginia's light sugar tone audible in the background. Since nicotine and fullness stay at medium levels, the blend suits smokers familiar with classic Latakia-forward English mixtures who are seeking an unflavored, dry smoke. For those coming from flavored blends, the room note forms a noticeable transition.
