Eccentric

Eccentric is an unflavored English mixture that puts latakia at the forefront of the blend. Its base is red Virginia; oriental leaf from Greece's Katerini region adds a thin spice layer, while a Virginia blended with light burley rounds out the texture. The ribbon cut is offered in 50-gram tins and in bulk.

Along the flavor line, smoky wood, spiced bread, musty earth, and herbal incense notes stand out; a citrusy tartness and a light peppery finish sit in the background. Nicotine is light-to-medium, the burn is slow, and it may require several relights. A record for those wanting to smoke latakia blends at medium strength without added flavoring.
