This blend is available in pouches, where I live, and has two types: Backwoods' Mild and Natural Pipe Tobacco; and Backwoods' Mild and Natural Pipe Tobacco, Black and Gold. This review covers the Black and Gold variety.
As one might expect, the tobacco is a mixture of dark and light brown pieces, and the cut is similar to Prince Albert, and to the old Amphora blends. Not really a rough cut.
The initial flavour is vanilla and some kind of fruit, like Captain Black but a little less vanilla. The surprising thing is that after about half way through the bowl, the vanilla taste recedes to only a whisper, and one is left with a pretty standard burley taste for the rest of the pipe. No virginia, though, at least none noticeable. As always, however, this may depend on the pipe in use at the time.
It is a bit damp, and the pipe gurgles after about two thirds have been smoked. You can hear the little leaves popping and hissing as they burn.
No bite with this one, and I would regard it as a good aromatic for low-maintenance smoking. Better, IMHO than Captian Black White, and a fuller taste than Captain Black Blue and Gold.

12/07/2005: One of the best vanilla flavored tobacco blends I have smoked. Fairly low in the nicotine department but has good tobacco flavors under the scent of the vanilla. A bit hard to find on the internet or anywhere else for that matter. Adding a pinch of a stronger tobacco makes this really good smoke. This bulk tobac arrived with just the right moisture content for immediate use. This blend burns smoothly and exhibits none of the stickiness of many Aromatics. If you are seeking a well-behaved Aromatic type for a change of pace smoke give this a try you might enjoy it as much as I did. I think Cup 'O Joes is the only place I have found this blend at least under this name.
11/25/2006 Update: Still a good Aromatic. Drop one star, no longer in my rotation.
