Reserve Crue No. 2

Reserve Crue No. 2 is a pressed long-slice blend belonging to Peter Heinrichs' hand-processed Reserve Crue series, built from pure Virginia leaf. Since the leaves are cold-pressed into blocks and then sliced, the burn stays slow and cool; the slices need to be rubbed out before packing.

A measured flavoring recalling vanilla, honey, and orange is added over the natural Virginia sweetness. The flavoring is kept at a level that doesn't mask the leaf's own sugar; nicotine strength stays light. It suits smokers seeking a flavored Virginia flake who enjoy the slow smoke of pressed tobaccos.
