The idea for the “African Line” arose from the desire to deviate stylistically from the usual tobacco offerings, especially with regard to unusual Latakia creations.The first blends were created in 2012: The Tuarekh as a Balkan blend and the Tigray, a Latakia creation with Burley and Perique. These formed the backbone of the series, complemented by the sweet Zulu and the unique Khoisaan. Encouraged by the success, we expanded the line in 2013 to include the Fayyum and the Indaba. In 2014, HU Tobacco ventured into the Fayyum Special Kake, a pressed Latakia crumble kake that impresses with its softness and sweetness. The Asmara was added in autumn 2015 and the African Line continues to enjoy great popularity.
