A harmonious marriage of air-cured 2014 White and Dark Burleys, Eight State Burley is further accentuated by a small amount of top-tier 2018 Red Virginias, 2019 Bright Virginias, and an intriguing melange of 17-year-aged Orientals. The resulting blend is singular within the industry — both in the rarity of its components and the balanced complexity of its flavor profile.
“This blend is really a pleasure to smoke. It’s well balanced, with a great interplay of rich earthiness, and sweetness marked by elements of spice, tartness and even a bit of cream.” — Jeremy Reeves, Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl
