The Virginias offer some tangy dark fruit, earth, wood, bread, sugar, light tart and tangy citrus, grass, stewed darker fruit, and floralness as they take a very small lead. The burley produces a wealth of earth, wood, nuts, and some sugar as a close competitor to the Virginias. The raisiny, plumy, earthy, woody perique produces light spice as a condiment. The dark fired Kentucky provides earth, wood, light spice, smoke and sourness. It, too, is a condiment. The strength and nic-hit are in the center of mild to medium. The taste is a notch past that mark. There’s no chance of bite or harshness. Barely has any rough edges. Well balanced with some complexity, it burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a mostly consistent sweet, nutty, mildly fruity, spicy flavor that translates to the pleasant, short lived after taste. The room note is a tad stronger. Barely leaves any dampness in the bowl. Requires few relights. An all day, fairly comfortable smoke.

Smoking now:
From a sample bag. Smoked it blind. The bag note reminded me of sweet and tart Virginias and earthy woody burley. Packed and lite without a problem.
Smoking it blind I guessed Virginia, Burley, and Kentucky. I was right however there’s perique in it too. The Virginia is sweet, slightly tart and the burley harmonizes with its woody characteristics. The Kentucky is noticeable as a condiment adding spicy and smokey notes. The retrohale is delicious and the bbq quality of the kentucky really comes though. Not overly spicy but a sweet smoky wood quality. It’s very nice. This is another dinger from HU. A really nice Vaper/Burkey/Kentucky blend. The nic hit is there, I found it to be pretty strong and I felt it for sure. I smoke cigars and I was surprised at the nicotine level in this. Bowl burned flawlessly. The more I smoke the more the Kentucky and burley comes though and the Virginias take a back seat. No detectable topping, no bite, slight spicy after taste. Very enjoyable. 3.5 stars.
