Rivertown Tobacco Works Crimson Shadow

Crimson Shadow is a balanced blend from Rivertown Tobacco Works' bulk line, built on stoved red Virginia and black Cavendish. The red Virginia gives the blend its lead flavor: a tart citrus, bread, dark fruit, and light wood character. Black Cavendish forms an earthy, nutty, molasses-like creamy base. The ribbon cut burns cool and even; flavor intensity is kept at a medium level. The brand also positions this line as components tobacconists can use for their own house blends, so it works both smoked alone and as a mixing ingredient.
