The Virginia has a mild, toasty dark fruit sweetness with a light tanginess, and a bit of earth, wood, light sugar, a small floral hit, and a couple blades of grass. There's a minor spice note as well. The strength, taste and nic-hit levels are a couple of steps past the center of mild to medium. Won't bite or get harsh, and has few rough moments. The flakes easily break apart to suit your preference. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent, one dimensional flavor. Leaves almost no moisture in the bowl as it easily burns to ash. Requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. An average all day smoke that you don't have to think about that much. Two and a half stars because it lacks body and some richness.

Interesting taste indeed, there is a flavoring of some sort or the virginias were stoved for prolonged period. No sharpness and the taste is almost full, bread/beans, that the first thing that comes to my palate. Smell like the sweet barbecue beans in the tin. Room note is tolerable not good but better than your regular virginia. Hard to get it to bite but if you smoke too fast it may. Burns well and the nic hit is mild to medium. 2 stars and some change, price and availability prevent it from being a 3 star.

Somewhat similar to Red Virginia and Golden Virginia, but not quite as pleasant. It is rather bland compared to the other two and the flavor is somewhat "monotone". DGT does not suit it very well. I'm looking for a virgina with a little more grassy citrus flavor. The three (Red, Gold, Brown) are somewhat similar, but not as similar as the F&T line.
