Tobacco Tangiers Birquq M108 Rangoon Sunrise 250g

Flavor: A Spiced Southeast Asian Sunrise

Rangoon Sunrise pairs warm citrus with a light background spice — somewhere between a bergamot tea and fresh-squeezed juice — with the spice staying in support rather than taking over, so the fruit stays bright through the whole session. Mix it with: 70% Rangoon Sunrise / 30% unflavored Burley V0 Base to tone down the sweetness while keeping the spice, or a three-way with Burley V96 Cane Mint — 50% Rangoon Sunrise, 30% Base, 20% Cane Mint — for a cooler, more layered smoke.

The Birquq Line

Birquq sits at the newer end of the Tangiers catalog, designed to be a gentler on-ramp into dark-leaf tobacco. Thanks to a reworked molasses cut, it shrugs off heat spikes and humidity changes much better than Noir does, so there's less acclimating to do and more room to get the coal placement wrong without burning it. The payoff is a fluffier draw, a bit sweeter than Noir's version of the same flavor, and a lower nicotine hit overall. Coming from lighter Virginia blends, it's an easier first step into Tangiers than diving straight into Noir.
