Shandwick
A pure Virginia blend created on request to achieve a mild Virginia smoking experience. Shandwick contains two Red Virginias, Bright Virginia, Stoved Red Virginia, and both Black and Red Cavendish. Naturally sweet.
Shandwick is a good Virginia. The Black and Red Cavendish are unsweetened. You get the traditional Virginia grass and some mild hay, but little in the way of sweetness. There is a kind of feathery dry element, almost like a bit of tannin as with immature red wine; it’s not off-putting but neither is this a draw.
The upside to any blend by ESF is that the consumer can be sure there is no propylene glycol or un-mentioned casing — its tobacco in the purest form.
3 stars out of 4.
