Hearth & Home Virginia Memory
(2.56)
From P&C's website: Hearth & Home Virginia Memory is the first true flake in the Marquee Series. Flue-cured tobaccos from two continents are rolled, then pressed and sliced. There's a remarkable natural sweetness, and the flavor profile is the traditional hay and grass notes that one would expect from premium flue-cured tobaccos.

I mistakenly thought this was H&H Virginia Memory #10, a bone-dry Virginia with maduro leaf. Was quite surprised to open a Lakeland-like VA flake. Nice presentation, tightly rolled, thinly cut, fragrant. Fairly moist, used the old 10-20 sec microwave trick. Lit and smoked well with no relights needed. No dottle, no very little moisture. The flavor was nothing to write home about. Smoke stung the eyes a bit, which makes me wonder if there's not a pinch of perique? Almost zero nicotine hit.

Hearth and Home Virginia memory.
Beautiful square twist flake, thinly cut to just about a shag thickness. A mixture of lighter and darker grades of virginia make up the flake with some thicker stems/veins here and there. The moisture of the tobacco was just right out of the tin after about a year of aging.
Tin note is aromatic with a vanilla top note and not much typical virginia odours that one would expect from an unflavoured virginia tobacco.
The tobacco lights easily and stays lit with few relights. Burns to a light grey ash with very little moisture and dottle (using a 9mm filter). The vanilla top note is not as strong as in a traditional aromatic, but is there throughout the first half of the bowl, dissipating towards the end. There are just so many better pure, unflavoured Virginia tobaccos out there if that is what you are seeking. Virginia memory is fine for those seeking a slightly aromatic tobacco but not on my repurchase list.
