Erinmore Flake is most enjoyable Virginia based blend BUT is it all natural or fruit topping added🤔

We had a lively debate on the Erinmore Flake. Are the noticeable fruity nuances like Apricot & Citrus / Lemon a natural bi-note of the high quality Virginia leaf & the way it was processed or a small measure of fruit essence topping was added to enhance the natural leaf nuances. Regardless this blend would be a treat to any Virginia lover. Blend info from tobacco reviews (US) The leaf tobaccos for Erinmore are selected from only premium tobacco growing regions of the world. The blend consists of mature Virginia, mellow burley and sweet dark air-cured tobaccos. It is pressed into cakes, aged and cut into slices providing a mellow and cool smoke with flowery and fruity note. Blend info from smoke-king (UK) Erinmore Flake is rich in colour and delivers assertive flavours. The Virginia and Burley tobaccos have been selected from premium crops, they’ve had flavour applied, been pressed and matured and cut into delightful flakes. Rub one of them out and you’ll smell mostly pure tobacco, with citrus, hay and earthiness. Popping the rubbed-out mixture into your pipe is easy, lighting may take a couple of goes but the flavours are worth the effort. This tobacco is a little above medium in strength, with grassy, fresh tasting Virginia and earthy, nutty tasting Burley. You get an appreciation for the fruity topping that’s citrus, with some stone fruit and a hint of vanilla. The room note is good and the bowl you’ve just smoked is mostly clean with only a little moisture. GQ Tobacco (UK) description that further proves my point. Erinmore is classic British/Irish blend, it has been a popular blend now for well over 50 years and still has a cult following. A skilfully blended selection of New World Virginia's, mellow Burley and a little rich Fire Cured leaf for a cooler smoke. The tobaccos are given a fruity/citrusy topping before being cold pressed in to a fragrant plug. The plug is left to settle, before being sliced into thin, easy to prepare flakes.
