Deluxe Crumb Cut

Deluxe Crumb Cut is a Burley-forward blend Watch City Cigar of Massachusetts prepares at its own facility. According to the maker's account, the blend is the product of seeking a middle path between ribbon cut's overly hot burn and cube cut's difficulty catching, so the leaf is processed into a crumbled "crumb" form.

Its character sits on the unflavored Burley line: a nutty, lightly cocoa-like, earthy base comes with measured sweetness. Nicotine load is medium. Thanks to the cut, it sits loose in the bowl and is suited to a cool burn. It's a defining example for smokers seeking an unflavored, everyday-suitable American Burley.
