Tobacconist Reserve Ltd. Virginia Blend

The tangy, dark fruity, earthy, woody, lightly floral, bready, slightly spicy and sour matured red Virginias are the main component. They also sport a light vinegar essence that quickly fades away. There are specks of sugary, grassy, citrusy bright Virginia in the mix as well, as a very small amount of stoved Virginia. The latter provides a touch of stewed fruit, earth, wood and sugar. The strength is a couple of steps shy of medium, while the taste is almost medium. The nic-hit is just past the center of mild to medium. Won’t bite or get harsh, but has a light rough edge here and there. This crumble cake is very mildly moist, and easily broken apart to suit your packing preference. Burns cool, clean and slightly slow with a very consistent, mild to medium sweet flavor from start to finish. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a tad more than an average number of relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. Can be an all day smoke.
