J. F. Germain & Son Royal Jersey Original Latakia Mixture

Royal Jersey Original Latakia Mixture is a ribbon-cut English blend from J. F. Germain & Son's Royal Jersey line, named after the maker's home island. It contains Latakia, Virginia, and Oriental leaves; per the maker's description, it smokes mild and gives a balanced flavor. The Latakia proportion is more measured than in the same house's darker products like Special Latakia Flake; the smokiness stays in the background, while Virginia sweetness and Oriental dry spice come forward. Being ready-cut, it requires no preparation.
