Peterson Balkan Mixture
A traditional mixture comprising the finest of Virginia tobaccos plus a hint of Louisiana perique and a generous proportion of Cyprus Latakia, hence the mild peppery flavour. The latakia's smoky woody taste is immediately present but is not overpowering and allows the sweetness of the Virginia through. The perique takes the stage with the latakia and combine to give a tranquil peppery bitterness and smoky flair that is wonderful to the palate.
