HU Tobacco My Red Fox

HU My Red Fox - Tine note is vinegary fermented red Virginia. Malt vinegar and sugar with some spice and tangy citrus and dark fruit and floral notes and bread. It is a ribbon cut and can burn a little warm if pushed . No tongue bite though . Very smooth . It seems like maybe some sun cured Virginias could be involved here but that’s speculation on my part because it smells like a pinch of turkish leaf in here . Very tasty blend with more nic than most straight Virginias. 4

Great and easy to smoke Virginia. I have finished this tin in less then a month. I'll probably try to find this again. At first nothing special but after a few smokes I didn't want to smoke anything else...

Red Fox just became my new favorite red Virginia. Sweet, malty, creamy - like a really good ale. I’m in love with this stuff. Hans does it again.

Got granted a generous sample of this blend and to be quite honest I think I would'nt have bought a tin of this, as I'm not that much of a VA guy. But Red Fox really is a straight Virginia in the fashion I like it - bold flavor profile (for a VA at least), rich earthiness and a bready/malty quality to it that's bewitching.

Unburnt aroma is quite natural seeming. Vegetative aroma, with some fruity undertones, almost vegetable-ish aroma to it (think green tomatoes maybe). Lovely looking mixture of ready rubbed parts and ribbons.

Up in smoke I instantly get a nice earthy foundation building up, with some minor grassiness, but more of a malty and slightly bready taste developing. Decent fruitiness is also present, as well as a mild sweetness (really, for a VA blend this is quite hearty and spicy - i like that!). Has also in the smoke this vegetative and vegetable-ish aroma to it, that gives it this natural feeling somehow for me. Not overly complex, but also not monocromatic. Full on the palate and satisfying in stregth (for me as a Burley-Lover).

I love its malty and earthy character, with just a hint of grassiness and sweetness, but a really full, satisfying smoke. For a Virginia I find this to be quite full in taste (not strong, full!) and have to grant it the whole 4-stars, as this is a Virginia blend the way I like it.... way past the "grassy, citrusy and sweet"-drowned-in-sugar Virginia blends this is some natural feeling, natural tasting blend to me, that I'll surely grab a tin of on occassion! Hans Wiedemann knows how to blend tobacco, it's fun exploring his blend assortiment!

Taste is a shade above "Medium", but not quite "Medium to Full". Yet for a VA-blend this is remarkably full in taste!

All that JimInks says, but a 5+ Star smoke for my taste - so full flavored and sweet with NOOOOO tongue burn at all - a new top 5 desert island treat for me! The sweetest deepest tastiest highest quality most wonderful all-Virginia leaf smoke I've ever had! The farther down the bowl, the more decadent and wonderful it becomes! Smooooth, coool, & sublime! Will hopefully be introduced into the world market this May of 2017... get it then while you can! A World Class Classic Champion!

This is one of my favorites from the great HU Tobacco. I would have never guessed this is just straight Virginia. Tin note has a lot of ripe fruits, plums, and hints of raisin. The taste is sweet, a little sour, with hints of spice. I almost swear there's oriental in this. A very well rounded and balanced tobacco blend. Nicotine level is medium, strength is medium. I was unable to detect any obvious topping but I am sure the master blender of HU Tobacco treated the tobaccos with something to tone down the Red Virginia vinegary taste that I am not very fond of. An extra ordinary Straight Virginia blend that can easily be my all day smoke. 4 out of 4 stars for me. I will definitely stock up on this.
