| I fell in love with this weed right away. Some quality time with your snout in the tin reveals orange peel, raisins, cinnamon and clove. The taste is pure Virginia bliss--toasty sweetness that improves and deepens down the bowl. Room had a nutty-woody note (my wife thinks even Cap'n Black stinks, so I fire up the stinkiest stuff anyway since it all stinks to her). I found the weed was not eager to stay lit, and as it is Virginia, it wanted to burn the tongue of this lusty puffer, so a good rubbing out and perhaps a little open air time will improve its pack and lightability. Quality flavor such as this gets my full attention and respect. As an added bonus #27 does have the nicotine kick to satisfy those of us who have needs in that department! Certainly a top-quality tobacco that lovers of honest Virginias will particularly enjoy.

| This is my first review, and my first encounter with a straight Virgia.Being a novice I am now just venturing in to the world of non-aromatics. I found this one to be wonderfully sweet, but not syrupy. I highly recomment this blend to those just starting with non-aromatics its a nice step in ther right direction.

| The tin opens with a typical burst of McClelland fruit. The thinly sliceds flakes rub out well into easy to pack strands. I normally smoke this in one of my XX Ashton billiards. In fact, I'm using #27 to break in a new Old Church saddle bit. Normally group 3 to 4 and perhaps a 5 work best for straight Virginians, because a larger pipe might be too much.
The tobacco lights easily and burns cleanly with sweetness that becomes richer through the smoke. However, you will only enjoy tobaccos like these if you smoke slowly. Otherwise, you're asking for a burnt tongue.
The aroma is subtle to me and my wife hates it. So it goes.
