Mac Baren-Virginia Blend. I was expecting a run of the mill/bit boring Virginia blend. How wrong I was!
When I opened mine up the first thing I thought was "this should be called Virginia Blend Broken Flake instead of Ready Rubbed". It's far too course to be classed as your usual ready rubbed!
The aroma from the pouch is quite a straightforward Virginia one with an extra addition that I can only construe as a citrus topping.
Once my bowl is packed it lights brilliantly, I thought it would due to the superb water content in it.
The smoke is delicious. It has that same citrus attribution as the un-lit aroma albeit not as strong as in the pouch note.
One of my favourite things about Virginia Blend is the room note. Not only is it a full Virginia one but the room doesn't get full to the brim with smoke. This would be a good blend to smoke in the company of other folks!
The nicotine is dead on medium. What more can I say about that?!
Virginia blend can give me a little bite if I smoke it stupidly aggressive. That's easily overcome, I don't smoke it like a greedy pig!
On the pack it says this contains a touch of Burley. This to exist in writing only, I can't detect any.
This is a great Virginia blend. One of the best.
Highly recommended.
