This Virginia broken flake confuses me a little. You can definitely say it's cased with an external aroma, but when I smoked it that aroma tasted like perique at times, while other times I detected just a straight Virginia. Definitely a curious blend, but a good one for its smoking qualities: it rubs out easily, though you might want to leave it on the air for some minutes, it smokes cool and even. Good, but a little too "mixed up" for my taste.

I'm a huge fan of P&W's English blends (and Virignia Flakes in general), but this Aromatic Virginia is on the edge of simply being too sweet.
The room aroma is really incredible, but then again, so is the aroma it leaves on the walls of your pipe (and it will adhere to your pipe), so be sure to dedicate a pipe to this blend.
This is the first blend I've ever smoked where my teenage daughter actually came into my living room and, unsolicited, blurted out how nice the room smelled. Then, a little later, my wife came in and basically said the same thing! This is a very PC blend - no question.
But what of the taste? While the broken flake cut is truly beautiful, as is the color, as is the pouch aroma...beware...this blend shrouds the pure, classic Virginia notes that you may be seeking. But, like most Aromatics, it will definitely please those nearby.
Take away most of the casing and this American Beauty would really shine. It really would.
