Lotus

Lotus is an aromatic blend from the Denmark-based Stanwell brand combining Danish-style black cavendish, brown cavendish, and fine Virginia leaves. It's presented in a loose cut, which allows the tobacco to pack easily and burn evenly. Though the Stanwell brand is best known for its pipes, its tobacco line has long continued within the Danish production tradition and is today produced under the Scandinavian Tobacco Group.

The blend's distinguishing trait is the combined use of coconut and vanilla flavors; the cavendish base's natural sweetness gathers these two notes into a creamy axis. In the maker's classification, strength is light-to-medium, flavoring is at the top level, and room note is given as intense. A tobacco that suits smokers seeking a pronounced sweet aroma rather than unflavored leaf taste, particularly those who favor tropical and sweet notes.
