I don't smoke too much Virginia but this was a really good smoke.

For years I have been trying to like Virginia blends. Either they bite, don't stay lit, come in flakes that take too long to smoke, or they are doctored up with frou-frou or perique. It was a hot summer's day over here when I received a packet of Quad Va from Richard. Getting on for sundown, I packed it in a Sasieni and settled back. JP says this is four Virginias: you can see different colours in the bag. Like other Patton blends, this is cut rough, with large pieces of leaf -- as if someone went into the storage barn and clipped some off the leaves hanging there. It came fairly dry from Richard, and crackled a little on packing. The familiar Virginia tang is there, but muted and biteless. Packed fairly tight it gives a good puff cloud and the flavour builds as you get further down the pipe bowl. Mild, but definitely has a presence. It has that typical JP harshness about it which I like. I would rate this right up there with just about all the Va blends that I have tried, and would recommend it to anyone. It will be my regular Va from now on, until JP comes up with a replacement.

This is a mild tobacco with little to no bite. I didn't have the lighting issues that the previous reviewer had, so it might have been either moisture content or packing. In any case, the Quadruple Virginia has a very pleasant aroma and taste, and is fast becoming my favorite way to start the day.

This blend smelled great in the pouch, somewhat sweet and musty smelling. It was a multicolored flake and came very dry. It loaded well in my pipe and I settled in with a cold drink and a book and set to enjoy an evening smoke. Once I lit up my pipe, I was greeted with a great aroma and very sweet and tasty first pulls. Then I had to relight. And then again. For some reason, maybe the fact it was so dry, I could not keep this blend lit, and when I puffed a little too much to try to do so, it started to bite me. It did smoke it all the way down and it was a very tasty blend that I did enjoy and was a great blend with a cold beer. But I could not go four star with it as it required so much relighting. I found that a distraction. But for the VA lovers, this is really a great tasting blend. I will hydrate it some before smoking it again and see if that improves it as I really enjoyed smoking it other than the relights.

Cancel my earlier review, please. It was meant as a review for Cool Hand Fluke, and I will post it there.
