Ashbury begins with a base of excellent Red and Bright Virginia tobaccos. Generous portions of small-leaf Oriental tobaccos provide a fullness and spice that give this blend it's wonderfully exotic taste and aroma. Finally, a small measure of the finest Cyprus Latakia is added, providing deeper notes, hints of leather and campfire, and a refined finish to the smoke. Ashbury is a comfortable yet distinguished mixture with a Balkan heritage and a poet's spirit.
