Watch City Cigar Simply Orange Virginia
(3.25)
Here the "Orange" refers to the color of the Virginia Tobacco used. Orange Virginia ribbon is Bulked and aged at 115 Deg F for weeks in 55 Gallon Drums. During this time natural elements that cause bitterness and harshness are released leaving a mellow, slightly sweet Vrginia which still retains a bit of the "Tangy Sparkle" of our simply Red.

I got an ounce of this in a VA sampler pack from Watch City Cigar back in April. I’m a big fan of Flake 558, so I was optimistic. After going through that ounce of Simply Orange, I don’t care for it. Changing up my smoking cadence every way I knew how, I just couldn’t seem to coax a flavor from it I found enjoyable. I have no problem with one-dimensional blends, straight VA or otherwise, provided that dimension is good. Here, my palate continually registered little more than burning tobacco. Incidentally, feedback from others on the room note were consistently negative. One person, before she spotted my pipe, thought the room had caught on fire. I have an enormous amount of respect for and confidence in both Jiminks and WCC, so I’m adding a second star under the notion that I don’t truly understand what I am tasting.
Cheers!
