Curly Block is made of high quality Virginia grades and a breath of Perique. For at least 6 weeks the mixture rests in the press, ferments gently, and reveals the multilayered nuances. After the aging period, the broad rope is divided into blocks at 250 grams each. The smoking the connoisseur can expect wonderful, natural sweet notes, with the Perique enhancing the mixture through a touch of spiciness, strength, and discreet fruity flavors. The tobacco is of middle strength and full flavor.
