Seattle Evening

Seattle Evening is an English-type entry in which the brand foregrounds Oriental leaf. The blend's defining aroma and flavor come from bitter, spicy Oriental leaves; the Virginia base sets a sweet foundation, while Latakia provides a smoky frame. The Latakia ratio is not as high as in the brand's Balkan entries, so the nuance of the Orientals reads more clearly.

The ribbon cut makes the blend easy to pack without preparation and ensures an even burn. It carries no additives. Suited to smokers who want an Oriental-forward English blend without giving up Latakia's smoke entirely, and who want a medium-bodied entry for evening hours.
