A tart berry on a strong cigar-leaf base.

Barberry is the sour end of the berry range, and Bonche Barberry does not try to sweeten it. The flavour is the sharp, tart character of the barberry fruit itself — a sour berry edge that cuts through smoke rather than coating it. If most berry tobaccos read as sweet, this one reads as bright and mouthwatering, which makes it a useful change of pace for smokers who find sweet flavours heavy over a full session.

How the session develops.

Like every Bonche flavour, Barberry is built on 100% Caribbean cigar leaf that has been air-cured, fermented in several stages and aged for at least two years. The declared berry aroma is clearest in the first 20 to 30 minutes; after that the cigar-leaf base comes forward and the session turns drier, earthier and more tobacco-led, with the tartness sitting underneath rather than on top. Pack it loose and fluffy in a phunnel or a Kaloud Lotus with two to three coconut coals, and do not overpack — a dense pack mutes the berry and makes the strength feel harsher than it is.

Mixing Barberry.

Barberry's tartness pairs well with a sweeter partner from this same range. Mixing it 30/70 with a blonde leaf softens the overall strength, and blending a small share of Bonche Honey or Bonche Blueberry alongside it rounds the sour edge without turning the bowl into a dessert flavour. Keep Barberry as the lead flavour and let the sweeter tobacco support it, not replace it.
