Midway through the smoking experience, the Cyprian Latakia tobacco takes center stage, introducing bold tangy flavors that create a striking contrast to the initial phase. This transformation showcases the masterful blending expertise that defines the Arcana series, pushing boundaries while maintaining the premium quality CAO is known for.

The US Broadleaf wrapper provides the perfect complement to this unique filler blend, offering natural sweetness and excellent burn characteristics. Combined with the Nicaraguan binder, the construction ensures even combustion throughout the smoking session, allowing the complex tobacco interplay to develop smoothly from start to finish.
