Robert McConnel - Virginia 5 Year Matured (Heritage).
Having smoked and enjoyed all of the Charatan Dunhill remakes I ordered some of the 'McConnell attempts! First up is this, and it's a good smoke!
The tin holds medium size ribbons, which are prominently just below medium brown, there's a couple of lighter pieces, and the moisture makes it imminently smokable. The tin-note's slightly citrus like, but nowhere near being 'aromatic'.
Upon first light, of the tobaccos, the predominant flavour comes from the Virginias; fresh and fruity. After the initial five minutes the Orientals become more salient, giving the smoke more of an ambrosial, flavoursome, calibre. The fruity topping has a little more of a peach, apricot character than it does citrus; the citrus 'twang' is next in line. It burns at an average pace, wanting very little maintenance. I don't get tongue bite; even if I puff with ridiculous force!
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: nice.
5 Year Matured Virginia? It's a good smoke, although I enjoyed Charatan's 'clone' better, this still deserves four stars:
Highly recommended.

I don't have this blue label tin, but a yellow one. According to other reviews this is probably some new or different version of this blend and tastes very different.
Tin note: sweet musty cocoa
Tastes like earthy cocoa, burns very well, no relights, not harsh, no tongue bite. Little bit peppery. Tastes somewhat like a mild maduro cigar.
Wife tolerates.
