Samson cigarettes are a brand originally owned by Van Nelle. It was later sold to Koninklijke Theodorus Niemeyer in Groningen and is currently produced by British American Tobacco. The name Samson, we assume this is the name of a biblical hero who had extraordinary power, in the portfolio of brands from Niemeyer there was also a tobacco called Hercules before, it is a pity that it was stopped producing, you could answer the question “What will you do for breakfast? – Hercules! 🙂
Dark Blend is a mixture of dark Virginia, which is placed in Samson cigarettes. Thus, an interesting and recognizable taste is obtained. Shag cutting, with a lot of chopped vein, is a European tradition for Zware. Humidity at first glance seems a little excessive, but this does not affect smoking, on the contrary, it adds convenience for Samson cigarettes.
In the aroma of tobacco smoke, the general line is a viscous haze and a little nutty taste. There is some fruity sweetness, a bread taste (especially in the aroma of a free-smoldering Samson cigarettes before inhaling), but the features of Samson cigarettes are the taste of tree bark, quite a bit of tar and the earthy aroma of pu-erh. This is reminiscent of and perfectly echoes the whiskey and opens up well in the lightweight cigarette padding. The aftertaste of tobacco is not straining, gently passes through the throat, if you smoke “in a draw”, but the strength of tobacco is slightly above the average level.
Very multifaceted in taste, various shades of tastes, in the background sourness, pronounced sweetness, dried fruits, plum, a little cigar, a little nut and smoky campfire, woodiness. In the aftertaste we obviously trace notes of wood, plum seed, and some delicate sweetness. The Samson cigarettes strength is above average, closer to high. Very resinous tobacco, the mucous membrane is not irritating, very softly goes, we would say velvet. It is also necessary to note the smell of smoke, which is very pleasant for others.
