Sutliff Tobacco Company TS1R Red Virginia Ribbon
(3.10)
Red Virginia Ribbon is a mainstay among blending tobaccos. It’s sweet, but not overly so, and has a natural toasty flavor which works well in Latakia blends, is a perfect companion for perique, will lighten sweet aromatics, and is a nice smoke all on its own.

Sutliff Tobacco - Red Virginia Ribbon.
Smokingpipes.com have this grouped as a blending weed but I think it's a lovely smoke on its own.
Because it's supplied in bulk the pouch lets it breath; there's no need for an airing. My blend's a little darker than the picture here and it smells like a good, ripe, Virginia.
Red' lights without an issue and gives, what I perceive as being, a high quality Virginia smoke. I mostly get a sweet, naturally fruity, character. It's unyielding with any citrus/grass/hay flavours, it gives a lot more of the deeper ones. After only a quarter a subtle doughy flavour comes to the fore and perfects the smoke! I can't fault the temperament of the burn, but it can become a touch warm if it's not sipped.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.
A steadfast four star Virginia:
Highly recommended.

It's got the flavors of bread, corn, cereal, and other good stuff in that category. Flavorful. It smokes cool and dry. It doesn't bite. It's nice to smoke on its own. Not a Nic Bomb.. but it's good stuff. Really good!
