The bold Virginias are dark fruit sweet with a touch of mild citrus and fermented sugar, and is earthy with a couple blades of grass. I also perceive a few hints of stewed fruit. There’s a very slight nutty note, and I wonder if a few dabs of burley is present. It might also help explain the minor molasses I taste. The fruit toppings are hard to define, but I get a small sense of berry and almond. The toppings tone down the tobaccos to a mild extent. The nic-hit is almost medium. No bite or harshness is present. Burns cool and clean and just a little slow with a very consistent, fairly smooth flavor from start to finish. Needs some relights, and leaves a little moisture in the bowl. Has a pleasant after taste. Not an all day smoke.

Mick McQuaid Square Cut Flake is no longer being sold in the USA. Too bad. It is an outstanding flake tobacco with just the slightest hint of casing. It rubs out easily, and the short strands are easy to pack in any sized pipe. (Because of its strength, you might opt for a smaller bowl). Unlike Mick McQuaid Ready-Rubbed (which I prefer), the Square Cut boasts a bit more muscle and burns more slowly. The Virginias are top shelf, and I particularly enjoyed the "no bite" smoke from beginning to end. I think there is a bit of Burley in this blend which aids the cooling properties.
If you prefer a straight tobacco taste from your blends, this might work for you, even with the top coating. Absolutely delightful!
