The Virginias have some grass, tart and tangy citrus, and a touch of tangy dark fruit. The earthy, nutty, woody, molasses sweet burleys play a supporting role. The fruity, buttery sweet rum is very obvious and has a mild spice note, which indicates Jamaican rum is present, too. I also sense an extremely light essence of cocoa here and there. The toppings do sublimate the tobaccos, though all work well together to create a very smooth, consistent flavor from start to finish. The nic-hit is very light. The strength is very mild, and the taste level is mild. No chance of bite, and has no dull or harsh moments. Burns at a moderate pace, cool and clean as it burns to ash with few relights, and leaves little moisture in the bowl. The pleasant after taste and room notes from the rums lingers a short while. An easy going all day smoke.

Villiger - Jamaican Export.
$3.99, what level of smoke can be had for such a cheap price? Lets see:
The unlit blend smells lovely, aromatic, sweet, and slightly sharp. The pouch's seal has prevented it drying out, but neither is it too wet.
To me, the flavour's nice, it's just aromatic enough, without being clumsy. Of the toppings it's the fruit/citrus which eludes me, the rum and chocolate form the smokes leading taste. With these two, the rum's stronger at first, the creamy chocolate joins in once the burn's settled, becoming equal in weight in after a little more time. The tobaccos are slightly subdued in comparison, they take a little effort to identify. It gives a low temperature burn, with a smoke that doesn't even give a nip of bite.
The room-note's pleasant, and the nicotine's mild.
So, $3.99? I'd gladly pay more for it!

I picked up a few pouches of the different villiger's to try over the summer.
The first one I opened was the Jamaican which I'm guessing is so named due to the rum content. Upon opening the pouch, the note definitely was booze. Not sure if it is rum or not.
The ribbon cut tobacco was moist to the touch after breaking the seal. It was easy to pack, being careful not to make the draw too tight (easy to do). Fairly easy to light (took three tries to really get going)
There was a booze flavoring in the smoke like the tin note, I'll take their word for it that its rum. The flavor is consistent through the bowl as is not overwhelming but more pronounced than other "rum" flavored blends. The base tobaccos could really be anything as I didn't taste them much under the rum.
Produced quite a bit of dobble/moisture during the smoke but not overwhelming for an aro.
I didn't get much nicotine from the smoke at all. Burned down fairly quickly to a nice grey ash and no gunk.
For not having high expectations, I found myself enjoying this and wishing that this was what people got when they bought "Drug-store" tobacco as I'd smoke it in a heartbeat over any of the CB line (and I smoked CB for years when I smoked before)
Room note was noticed by the wife as "quite nice" which means I'll be able to smoke this on roadtrips in the car 🙂
Good quality, very reasonable price. Get ya some.

Overall, a sweet, slightly spicy aromatic blend; the tobaccos really stay under the topping flavors (mostly the rum with a touch of fruit; I didn't detect the cocoa). I do get a bit of bite, but overall a pleasant, light summer smoke.
