About This Blend
Crimson Shadow leans darker than many Virginia-Burley mixtures, carrying more earth and depth while keeping an approachable smoking temperament. The Burley lends firmness; the Virginia keeps it from going flat. A useful recommendation when a guest wants body without the smoke campfire character of Latakia.
Best Paired With
Brown ale, rye whiskey, or cola
