| Similar to F&T Blackjack in that it has little nicotine strength, but not as flavorful as the unsweetened cavendish has really dummied down the Virginia element. This one can nip if puffed to fast while the smoker searches for flavor.

| I bought Evans Blend because I think highly of Frebourg.
Most of all I liked Vanners.
This one also contains pure red and gold Virginia, in addition to Black Cavendish. It is quite dry leaving behind beautiful white ash in the end. The bad thing is that it dries very fast (this can be a good sign; lack of preservatives). It needs calm smoking in order not to create any tongue biting.
Quite high consistency in nicotine.

| This is a pretty good smoke. It appears to be red Virginia ribbon with bits and strands of darker Cavendish. I like it better than Vanners but not as well as Golden. It has a very mild Virginia effect with a neutral sweetener, probably from the Cavendish. It burns a bit quickly although not as fast nor as hot as Vanners. If you bought a tin of this, you will probably smoke it with no hesitation. It also, I think, does not deliver much nicotine which may cause the smoker a tendency to puff a bit too fast. It does not bite so it may be just the ticket for someone starting out on Virginias. I'll give it three stars because I enjoyed it. However, it is not distinctive enough for the price that I would buy it again.

| This was one of several large samples kindly given me at Messrs Davidoff, who stock all F & T compositions.
I was surprised to find this less interesting, less vivid than GOLDEN MIXTURE. That tobacco has an excellent sweet tang, without bite. I thought this would be similar, but with some added body from the stoved. Not so. It is duller, and still on the shallow side as flavour goes. There is nothing offensive about it: it has good finish and first-rate burning qualities. It just doesn't taste like a hell of a lot, and, as a light experience, I prefer the GOLDEN.
