Blend: Black Cavendish + Virginia + PeriqueType: Air Cured + Curly Cut
A blend of dark and bright Virginias with strong Perique from Louisiana. The blend is pressed into thin plates, which are matured under pressure before being spun tightly into rolls around a core of Black Cavendish. Again the rolls mature before being cut and packed. Tobacco from three continents. Know it on the black eye!
"By using the name Bull's Eye, Orlik is in fact using a double- entendre: on the one hand we have the image of the slice, in its beautiful circular patterns between light and dark tobaccos, evoking the image of a practice target. However, as I've learned, the second meaning behind the name on the tin comes from the fact that the blender got the exact proportion - spot on! - of tobaccos used to build this monumental mixture.
It has that citrus flavor that is also available on the "Golden Sliced" variety - which I consider a top everyday flake smoke-, even if this mixture is an even bigger treat due to the heavenly Perique added to it: I often think its the dark Cavendish that opens the way for the Perique to unwrap It's one of those pleasures that remains burned vividly in my memory hours or days after I smoke it, just like a special reserve wine one drinks on special occasions and never forget. Unless you don't enjoy tobacco smoking at all or have lost your sense of smell and taste, I see no reason why you should not try to unravel the complexities of this exemplary blend."
