The various red Virginias provide a lot of tangy fermented dark fruit, earth, wood, some tart citrus, a little grass, sugar, bread, acid, stewed fruit, light spice and a touch of floral. The black stoved Virginia offers a lot of tangy stewed fruit, sugar, earth, some wood, spice, and dark fruit. The well balanced Virginias meld together so well that I can’t say one dominates the other. You will notice every aspect of the Virginias in every puff. There's also a touch of raisins, plum and a hint of spice from a few pinches of perique. Not sure about the casings, but I sense a light red wine. The strength is a couple of steps past the center of mild to medium. The taste is a rung past that, falling a tad short of the medium mark. The nic-hit is in the center of mild to medium. No chance of bite, and barely has any rough edges. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent, sweet and slightly savory campfire flavor that translates to lightly lingering, pleasant after taste. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a nice room note. A fairly easy going all day smoke.

Another great blend from Watch City Cigar. I keep telling myself to try more of their blends, and it's time I listened. Perfect smoking moisture content and sweet, musty earthy aroma. Smells like tobacco should smell. Flavor profile is slightly sweet, hints of dark fruit, plum comes to mind. A dry, subtle woody flavor supports the base flavor which I would describe as bready and earthy. The stoved black Virginia's really balance out the young and old reds and give a depth of flavor not in Red VA blends when they are standing on their own. Great after tastes that lingers a bit after you put the pipe down. Really good stuff.

The balanced combination of Virginia's rule the roost combining with the Perique to deliver grassy and dark fruity notes. The strength, taste and nicotine are all medium. No bite. Burns cool with consistent flavor and pleasant room note.

A rich, not light, blend of mildly sweet and tart. Detected a tantalizing Peretti-like spice (anise? a mint?) swirling within. Leaves a wonderfully fragrant bouquet in the nostrils. Another very satisfying hit for Watch City.

Never smoked 'the other' R&B but this one is a real winner. The red virginia is a strong backbone complemented by the stoved virginia. Sweet and a slight sour note in the background. Smokes to the bottom of the bowl with a very satisfying and delicious taste. Vitamin N is ready to come out if you invite. Every Watch City blend I have had is top of the class.
