Is this really bad? Well, it depends on how one chooses to look at it. I stand by my statement that Pease's virginias are of poor quality, and I think that is due to the leaf from C&D. Rather thin and bland this does nothing for me and boarders on a taste of cigarettes with a dash of perique. There are simply no reasons I can think of to smoke this when there are so many VaPers of better quality out there.
Taste: A light, slightly ashy hay with muted notes of pepper at first. This transforms some about halfway through the bowl and deepens as the perique intensifies and the ashy note recedes. Other than that there is not much to be said about the blend.
Mechanics: Ribbon cut, ready to smoke out of the tin, no bite and medium nicotine.

A halfway smokable VA/Per blend but not the best I've ever had. There are better ones available. Mildly sweet virginia with a peppery tone provided by the perique. Certainly but not something I would go out of my way to purchase again. Rather harsh and unrefined for a Pease blend.
