W.D. & H.O. Wills Capstan Navy Cut Full

The dark Virginias provide a lot of tangy dark fruit, some tart and tangy citrus, plenty of earth, wood and bread, a little grass, vegetation, sugar and floralness, slight acidic sourness, and a couple pinches of spice as the lead component. The earthy, woody, herbal, vegetative, floral, nutty, smoky, spicy, bitterly sour, rugged dark fired Kentucky is a strong supporting player. Its effect is a tad inconsistent as it occasionally takes a very small lead in the last third of the experience. There is a very mild floral sweet topping that lightly sublimates the tobaccos. The strength and nic-hit are a couple of steps past the medium threshold. The taste is a slot past the center of medium to full. No chance of bite or harshness, though it does have a few rough edges. The flakes easily break apart to suit your packing preference. Burns clean and a tad slow with a rich sweet and sour, savory, spicy flavor that extends to the pleasantly lingering after taste. The room stronger a notch stronger. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires some relights. Not an all day smoke. Three and a half stars.
