City of Roses

City of Roses, named after Portland's "City of Roses" nickname, is a house blend at Rich's Cigar Store described as a natural aromatic. It is built from red Burley, Virginia, and sweet Oriental tobacco; added flavoring is minimal, with sweetness coming largely from the leaf itself.

The profile shows a nutty base, a light sweetness suggesting honey and flowers, and a spice that lingers on the finish; the overall character leans dry rather than sugary. It suits smokers avoiding heavily flavored aromatics who want a naturally sweet everyday blend. Reports note the blend was previously sold as Wild Rose at House of Calabash. Its current status is unclear since it doesn't appear on the shop's current list.
