The Virginias offer quite a bit of hay and grass with some citrus, very light dark fruit and a touch of earth and spice. There is a topping, actually more than one, as I sense a hint of vanilla, caramel, and sugar. I can’t quite decide if the honey hit comes from a topping or one of the gold Virginias, but I suspect the latter. There is a slight chemical note and thinness of flavor to the toppings. The nic-hit is barely noticeable. Burns at a readable rate with a consistent taste, and though I didn’t experience any bite, I find it gets a little warm on the tongue when smoked beyond a moderate pace. Requires few relights, and leaves little moisture in the bowl. The after taste is short lived. An all day, very gentle smoke that suffers from lack of body and depth in addition to the aforementioned chemical note.

I had to smoke this blend several times to give an accurate review in the hopes that my opinion would change. But here goes?..this blend is mostly Virginia long ribbon cut and is a very light colored blend & very stringy. I found myself having to constantly re-light no matter how I packed it or what pipe I used. Contained a few stems which was not very impressive. The pouch aroma is very mild if any. Upon lighting this up, I was waiting for FLAVOR. There is very, very little flavor. This blend has very little character and is just ?bland? to say the least. Not much going on & very boring to say the least. Tongue bite is non- existent. A little too mild for me. Almost like smoking air. I coundn't not notice a difference between this blend and "Boswell's Best". But then again, when there is no flavor, there is nothing to compare!
