Hearth & Home Marquee WhiteKnight 10th Anniversary

The Hearth & Home Marquee series began in 2010 with the release of Magnum Opus, a Balkan-style blend that won instant acclaim. A year later, it was followed by BlackHouse, which won the 2011 Balkan Sobranie 759 Throwdown at the Chicagoland Pipe and Tobacciana Expo, so for 2012, Russ Ouellette prepared an homage to Balkan Sobranie Original Smoking Mixture called WhiteKnight, which became as popular as its predecessors. When Russ recently found that he had access to some 10-year-vintage Virginias, it made sense that a great way to celebrate WhiteKnight's 10th anniversary would be to switch out the regular Virginias for those aged tobaccos, and the result is Hearth & Home Marquee WhiteKnight 10th Anniversary.

The beauty of this approach is that WhiteKnight fans will find themselves with a familiar blend, but with a slightly deeper flavor and a bit more sweetness. Folks who just enjoy rich Balkan blends will also enjoy this unique, limited-edition tobacco as well. If you fall into either group, you'll want to get your hands on a few tins of this special blend because we expect this to sell out quickly.
