How is the flavor profile of Kentucky and Burley leaves achieved?

The secret to the success of Borkum Riff Original lies in its ingredients and unique fermentation process. Unlike mass-market alternatives, this blend utilizes air-cured Burley and fire-cured Kentucky. As noted by Smokers Outlet, the "selected quality, bright aromatic Virginia, and rich cool-smoking Burley tobaccos are blended by a special process to create a mixture that is smooth." The Kentucky leaf provides the robust backbone, while the Burley acts as the primary flavor carrier.
