Iwan Ries Balkan Supreme

Balkan Supreme is a ribbon-cut English-Balkan blend produced in Denmark for Iwan Ries & Co. of Chicago. Its composition includes Virginia, Latakia, Oriental, and natural Cavendish; the Latakia proportion gives the blend a heavy, smoky, salty body, with the Oriental leaves laying a spicy layer beneath it. Classified by the maker as full-bodied, the blend sits at the high end for both nicotine and flavor intensity. It carries no flavoring.
