John Cotton's Double Pressed Creme is the only blend in this new lineup that appeals to Aromatic smokers. It begins as a flake tobacco made of Virginia and black Cavendish and is then rubbed out. The tobaccos are given time to rest while allowing the leaf to re-oxygenate to liven the flavor and to prepare for the next step. Then the tobaccos are pressed again into a crumble cake, so further fermentation can take place. But what really makes the difference is a subtle bit of vanilla to give it a slight sweetness and a pleasant room note. Now you can see what time and pressure can do for an aromatic blend.
