McClelland Balkan Beauty

Balkan Beauty is among McClelland's blends in the Balkan category. It's built on the trio of Latakia, Oriental/Turkish tobaccos, and Virginia; true to the Balkan designation, Oriental leaf leads, with Latakia supporting it as a smoky, woody layer. On the retrohale, the Oriental tobaccos' tangy, faintly floral, spicy character comes first, followed by Latakia's smoky-musty soot; McClelland Virginias' fermented dark-fruit sweetness builds the base. No flavoring is used; nicotine is medium.
