Butera Matured Ribbon

Matured Ribbon is an unflavored blend in Butera's Royal Vintage line, obtained by pressing lemon-yellow, red and steam-darkened virginia leaves and cutting them into ribbon form. The contribution of the three leaf types can be distinguished separately in the smoke: red virginia is tart and soft, the darkened leaf spicy and cool, the lemon-yellow sweet and hay-like. The blend leans toward the red and darkened leaves in weight.
