Amaretto

Amaretto is one of the house blends from Tinder Box, the American tobacconist chain that has blended under its own name since 1928. Almond-based amaretto flavoring is cased over a sweetened black-Cavendish-forward body; records indicate the blend is ribbon cut and kept at average moisture.

Nicotine load is low and the smoke is mellow; the almond sweetness of the casing comes forward in the mouth more than the tobacco's own taste. Suited to those new to aromatic blends and to anyone after a light tobacco to smoke all day. Tinder Box blends are mainly sold loose by weight in the chain's own stores.
