Iwan Ries & Co was established in 1857 and has been a permanent resident in Chicago, Illinois ever since. It was in the mid-1950s that they created a blend that didn’t take long to become their #1 seller. Iwan Ries Three Star Blue had been an exclusive blend in their store for over 60 years but they decided it was time to release it in a big way by making it available to retailers everywhere. We were more than eager to pick up this old style American-English blend and add it to the collection. 
Iwan Ries Three Star Blue is crafted with sweet Virginias, nutty Burleys, a dash of toasted black Cavendish, a pinch of Latakia and hint of Perique. This unique blend is then finished off with a top flavor if fruitiness and a singular floral note. The superb Iwan Ries Three Star Blue will take you back to simpler times and is sure to take you on a trip down memory lane.
