This is a somewhat simple blend that continues to bring me happiness every time I smoke it. Tasting notes remind me of sweet tea, freshly mown alfalfa, pecans, pistachios, molasses, mossy-earthiness, and a barn-yard quality but in a good way. Slight pepper and tanginess on the retro-hale. There may be a very mild flavoring/sweetness, or it may just be from the lemon Virginias, I haven't had the opportunity to try many blends with that level of brightness in them. Leaves a slight nutty/earthy taste in the mouth that fades quickly. A similar smell was left in the room that faded after a brief time. The room note isn't really a crowd pleaser unless you like tobacco, but it doesn't send those around you running for air either. It has the added benefit of getting better and better as it ages. It makes for an easy all-day smoker. Going to be stocking up on this in the near future.

I recently got back into pipe smoking, and picked up a small pouch of this from a local tobacco shop. First bowl was admittedly awful and had a lot of bite, but not being a quitter, I tried a second bowl and it was noticeably better. The next morning I decided to try again with a small basket pipe that finally started smoking OK and WOW! No tongue bite and a nice mellow flavor. I couldn't tell you if that first bowl was a result of my mouth not being used to the specific chemistry of that tobacco or if I had just packed it poorly, but I just went in and purchased a half pound of this tobacco and put most of it in a quart jar to age. I think I'm going to do that once per month until I have a nice stash of it. It's probably not for everybody, but I have a feeling it is going to be one of my new favorites.
EDIT: I just opened a jar that's been aged for about two months. It's even better just after two months! Smoother. Mellower. Even less propensity for tongue bite. It goes really well in a cob. I can't wait to see what even more time does.
