Mac Baren Amphora Full Aroma

Amphora Full Aroma is a blend built by adding burley, fire-cured Kentucky and oriental leaves to a Virginia base. The manufacturer states the leaves are gathered from three continents. Like the rest of the series, it's presented rubbed out, ready to pack. The "full" in the name points more to the fullness of the leaf mix than to a heavy sauce layer: smoke and wood tones from the Kentucky, burley's dry body and the orientals' spice come forward, while Virginia carries the sweetness in the background. It's on the strong end of the series in nicotine.
