Blend
Like most of our spun tobaccos, water and maple sugar are boiled and added to the tobacco. This is all we add so the taste is very natural with the interplay between the natural sweet Virginias and light sour and smoky flavour from the Dark Fired Kentucky perfectly blended to create a natural tobacco taste.
