The original Curlies had a depth of flavor that was hard to beat, with rich, ripe fine shag Virginia ribbon wrapped around a center of heavily fermented pure 100% Louisiana Perique. The later Danish version was good, but the original had a depth to the Virginia that could not be matched. If you locate an older, original Made in Great Britain tin, you are going to be treated with a taste sensation that was like a little slice of Heaven!

Fortunate to have acquired a little cache of the Made in England / Great Britain iterations of this blend- I rank it as one of the all time best VaPers I've had the pleasure to smoke. Of course, it all has been well aged by now and the depth of flavor of the two principle ingredients is luxurious. Sweet and plum stewed. I may have to smoke the pipes themselves when I run out of the tobacco. If you can find a tin, you won't be disappointed. 5 stars!

Lucked into a tin of the English production of this spun disc VaPer, very dark in color (my tin wasn't marked with a date) and a rich and fruity tin nose. The tobacco was still very moist and required drying time, although I smoked the first bowl at tin moisture.
A very flavorful VaPer, with a mild but rich flavor, low nicotine and a very calm disposition. This was about as easy to smoke as any tobacco could be, yet it had a kind of stout flavor that belied its smoothness. No "bite" to it, and by bite I mean heavy bursts of flavor with an edge. No edges here. The edges are what separated this one from the old Cope's Escudo, and I preferred that one as a result. Think of the fizz in a cola as "edge". But if one were a heavy smoker and wanted something easier to take, this would be the one. The fruitiness of the perique came with just a spot of spiciness and sass and the Virginias were pleasantly tangy and sweet with, again, just a touch of extra color. I'm not sure what age has done to this one as I recall smoking a single tin of this years ago but not being overly impressed. But this tin is impressive.

I mourn the passing of this great tobacco, and have yet to find anything comparable on the market today. If you have an opportunity to try this, take it! Highly recommended!
