I've been exploring the world of Virginia tobacco and I ordered this along with a few others. This is a lovely Virginia with a good sweetness and about a medium nicotine hit. I suspect that some time airing and aging will turn it into an amazing smoke. Out of the tin it smokes great but for me it lacks depth. I find it lying in the middle between Sutliff Virginia Slices and Newminster 400 Flake in flavor. No bite unless pushed hard and the flavor progresses nicely as the bowl begins to stove down. Pack loosely for best results.
