Bouse de Vache

Natural extract made by cold maceration in PG of Black Burley and coast-grown Syrian Latakia.

“It is said that a French diplomat, somewhere between a poorly ventilated conference room and a glass of Armagnac, once stumbled upon an improbable blend of Black Burley and coastal Syrian Latakia. The proportions were uncertain, the intention unclear, but upon taking a single puff from his atty, he sat up, eyes wide, and exclaimed: “Oh, la vache!”

And thus, the legend Bouse de Vache was born.

This mixture brings together the dark, nutty fullness of Belgian Black Burley and the refined smokiness of Syrian Latakia grown on the coast. Unlike its resinous cousin from the mountains, this Latakia is subtle, adding a smoky caress rather than a punch.

The result is a dry, elegant blend—no sweetness, no showmanship—just the essence of a classic tobacco. Balanced, steady, and civilised. A blend dignified enough for international negotiations and smooth enough to vape all day, without ever overstaying its welcome.”

<< This blend would not exist without the refined instinct and precise hand of José David Ortiz Murillo, whose collaboration with Centenary Mods has brought an idea to life with quiet brilliance. To him, we extend our deepest thanks.>>
