Seetaler

Seetaler is the medium-cut house blend from Tabakfabrik Roth in Beinwil am See, Switzerland. According to the maker, all the leaf comes from Swiss agriculture; the Burley and Virginia base is flavored with a light, Danish-style casing carrying subtle vanilla and caramel notes. The casing is kept light enough not to mask the leaf's own grassy, bready character.

Thanks to its medium cut, the blend lights easily and burns cool; the nicotine load stays moderate. It suits smokers who want their aromatic in modest doses, avoid heavily cased blends, and are curious about tobacco grown and made locally. Tabakfabrik Roth is recorded as Switzerland's only operating tobacco factory, and offers Seetaler in packaging ranging from 100 grams up to a kilogram.
