Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian's Haunted Virginia

The matured, darkened bright and orange Virginias provide a moderate amount of tart and tangy citrus, bread, grass, floralness, sour lemon, vegetation, some sugar, light darker fruit, and a couple of pinches of spice along with small smoke, vinegar, and acidic notes. The strength and nic-hit almost reach the medium mark. The taste level is medium. There’s no chance of bite or harshness. As it is untopped, there are a few small rough edges, which is typical for Virginias. It burns cool, clean, and burns a tad quicker than a usual ribbon cut even though it’s almost mildly moist. Has a deeply rich, consistent flavor that extends to the lightly lingering, pleasant after taste. The room note is a notch stronger. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and doesn’t require many relights. Can be an all day smoke. Three stars.
