IRVINE, CA, February 22, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dark, rich and incredibly rare, Syrian Latakia tobacco will be available on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 in Black Note's vaping liquid blend of Quartet. As the ninth blend in the company's naturally extracted tobacco (NET) vaping liquid lineup, Quartet features one-of-a-kind Syrian Latakia tobacco that has been patiently aged for nearly a decade.
Quartet was so named for the four key components involved in the Syrian Latakia process.
The Syrian Latakia Process
Sun, fire, earth and air are the main components that go into the making of Syrian Latakia, a flavorful blend that produces a smoky-peppery taste and aroma.
-Sun: Tobacco is first sun-cured in tightly sealed barns to remove moisture content.
-Fire: Smoke-curing is the next step in the process, with controlled fires sending up fragrant smoke from native Mediterranean aromatic woods and herbs.
-Earth: Earth provides the foundation and nutrients for the tobacco and native foliage to flourish.
-Air: Oxygen fuels the blazing flames of the controlled fire, producing the potent smoke that infuses the tobacco leaves with their unmistakable Syrian Latakia aroma and taste.
The Scarcity of Syrian Latakia
The production of Syrian Latakia declined over the years, making it one of the most treasured finds in the tobacco industry. Its rarity can be attributed to several factors, one of which was the Syrian government's post-World War II ban on burning wood to smoke or dry crops.
Many farmers thus moved to Cyprus, where wood was more plentiful, producing a Cyprus Latakia that was not as smooth, cool or delicate as its Syrian Latakia counterpart.
When the Syrian government's wood ban was finally lifted in the 1980s, the demand for Syrian Latakia had already largely declined. But that didn't mean it wasn't a precious find when tobacco connoisseurs did run across it.
Black Note was able to acquire an exquisite lot of Syrian Latakia from a tobacco specialist in Italy. The lot had been in production prior to the Syrian Civil War, being patiently and perfectly aged for a full eight years.
This precious Syrian Latakia tobacco is the foundation of Quartet, available in limited quantities while supplies last. Order now (https://www.blacknote.com/store/quartet.html) to experience the harmony of Quartet.
