"Bite" in tobacco comes either from

We use for VELVET only the finest Kentucky
Burley. But we don't stop there.
We put millions of pounds of this tobacco away
every year, in wooden hogsheads, for Nature to
patiently ripen and mellow.
There are quicker ways, but they leave some

The VELVET way makes
