Tudor is a fairly up-front virginia manufactured by McClelland. It's made from high-grade leaf, and I find it to be surprisingly heavy for a Virginia, which I usually think of as a "summertime" smoke. Even when new it had a pronounced figgy flavor, and now that it's had a few years of aging much of the citrus note has subsided (along with what little bite it had). Whatever McClelland does to give their tobaccos that ketchupy aroma is largely missing here.
It's quite sweet (naturally, not artificially), sweeter than 1776 but not as sweet as some of the other PCCA blends. Because of it's weight, I tend to smoke it sparingly (when winter rolls around I tend to hit the latakia), but it's really an outstanding blend.
