Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #3

Burley Flake #3 is the series member distinguished by fire-cured Kentucky. Cool-burning burley leaf is joined by rich dark-fired Kentucky; Virginia provides natural sweetness and aroma, while a pinch of perique adds extra nuance. The mixture is pressed and sliced, presented as flake. The presence of Kentucky adds a smoky, salty direction to the blend; as a result it carries a smoky impression despite the series containing no Latakia. Burley keeps the body dry and nutty, Virginia's sweetness balances that dryness, and perique leaves a plummy spice in the background. Nicotine strength runs high, and the smoke is heavy.
