Wilke No. 196

Wilke No. 196 is a Virginia-Burley mixture in the maker's 190 series. Lightly flavored black cavendish, prepared with Wilke's own roasting method, is added to natural Virginia and Burley leaves.

While the cavendish addition raises the blend's sweetness, the mixture's backbone stays in the unflavored leaf; body and nicotine are medium. With no Latakia present, it suits smokers seeking a smoke-free, lightly sweet everyday smoke.
