Joie de vivre, that magnificent ability to see the joy in everything, and the very embodiment of the festive spirit of New Orleans, is the inspiration for this singular, eminently cellar worthy blend. A foundation of fragrant Latakia and sweet red Virginia is joined by equal amounts of Perique and Katirini Turkish to enhance complexity, and then finished by a dash of unsweetened Black Cavendish for extra smoothness. Estimated peak: 8-12 years from tin date. But it’s delicious right now! TobaccoReviews.com

Black Cavendish, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Perique, Virginia tobacco in a crumble cake. EXCELLENT English blend. Tin smells like sweet leather. Mild to semi-bold flavor and tastes sweet, slightly creamy, little spice, very floral.
