Hearth & Home El Niño

El Niño, part of the Marquee series, brings together Virginia, Perique, fire-cured Kentucky, and unflavored toasted black Cavendish leaf. Despite containing no Latakia, Kentucky's smoky character gives the blend a dark frame. The taste opens with a dry-hay sweetness and deepens into dark fruit and spice notes. Smoking it on an empty stomach can be demanding.
