I like this even better than one of my favorites from Dunhill! The Dunhill version always had a slight bitterness to it that is replaced by a bit more of the nice sweetness in this one. They have certainly captured the character of the original, and to my taste, made it better.

One of my favorite tobaccos from this line. It has become my everyday Virginia tobacco (Along with the Golden Glow). The curious thing about this tobacco is that it does not have many citrus notes and the herbal notes that are very characteristic of other Virginia tobaccos are not present. I find notes of dried fruit, such as walnuts or almonds, and it is not too sweet. A very soft tobacco, which together with "pure virginia" are recommended for those who want to start with natural tobaccos.
