The various Virginias provide a lot of tangy dark fruit and tart and tangy citrus, grass, hay, vegetation, earth, wood, plenty of bread, sugar, mild floralness, slight acidity, and a couple pinches of spice. The sweet and tartly sour apple brandy topping moderately sublimates the tobaccos, and has no artificial or chemical notes. The strength is a step past the center of mild to medium. The nic-hit is in that center. The taste is a notch past the strength level, and just falls short of the medium threshold. Won’t bite or get harshness, and only sports a very few rough edges. This moist plug easily breaks apart to suit your packing preference. You may want to give it a light dry time. Burns cool, clean, and slow with a very consistent, deeply rich, fermented sweet and mildly tartly sour flavor that translates to the pleasantly lingering after taste, and room note. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and require some relights. It’s an all day smoke for the veteran aro smoker, and repeatable for the less experienced. This is a limited edition of 4,400 tins. Three and a half stars out of four.

This comes in one big plug that breaks apart very easily into ribbons . I smoke it right from the tin as I think the moisture is perfect . No bite whatsoever. Very tangy and sweet . Fruity with baked bread and slight vinegar. A little citrus and hay and floral notes but more of a red Virginia flavor . The sour apple topping is there the whole bowl . I don’t get much of the brandy . It gets better at the bottom of the bowl . A nice smoke . 3 stars

Smoking now.
The tin aroma is darker than a usual Virginia tobacco. Tart grassy bread earthy hay with yes, an oak woody apple smell. Smells like a fall hay ride. Delightful.
Cake breaks apart easy and the moisture seems right.
The bright, tart, sweet, hay like Virginas are toned down with an oaky wood flavor. Dark bread, spice, earthy hay, it’s pretty good. I don’t think this is topped or cased but rather infused with an apple brandy from the oak barrel it was aged in as I don’t pick up any artificial sour apple flavors but a little apple notes on the retrohale. The retrohale is nice for a Virginia blend. A darker but natural sweetness. If Virginias are for summer this is for the fall. Smoking next to a camp fire with a brown ale and this is very enjoyable. Leaves a stronger after taste but it’s not bad. A little mouth tingle but that’s to be expected. Does not bite.
I’ll smoke this on a cool fall night anytime . I hope it smooths out and sweetens up with age. Next fall I bet this is even better.

After 2 plus years in the jar this blend still is a nice autumn blend. It’s a darker stouter Virginia. Woody, earthy, some hay, a little dark fruit. The apple flavor is hard to pick up on but there is an underlining fruit note on the retrohale along with some pepper. It’s like a dark ale on a rainy fall day. Hits the spot. Benefits from a filter pipe as it can be harsh at times. Room note I’m told is apple. Go figure.

This is a very interesting tobacco . A crumble cake infused with apple brandy . The flavorings are lightly applied and the apple brandy comes through for the entire smoke . Although it is listed as an aromatic the flavoring is just enough to be placed in that category . Real nice tin note . The crumble cake is real easy to work with , packs well and with ease . The virginias are decent enough for today's day and age . The down side is that it burns way too hot . It also irritated my throat that is not usually sensitive . It leaves sort of a chemical after taste that is not easy to get rid of . Since I smoked in 20 degree weather that might been a factor but I had the same experience when I smoked it in my car . If you are looking for a lite aromatic this might do the trick for you . Sutliff seems to be making some better tobaccos lately .
