After reading the description, I was excited to try this one. I am a big fan of red virginias and this blend has a decent amount. The charing light produced some bitterness that quickly faded. The remainder of the bowl smoked nicely. The flavor was straightforward tobacco. I did not detect the sweetness I was hoping for from the red virginia components. However, the flavor is nice, even though a little one-dimensional. Some age might help with the initial bitterness but I don't think the sweetness of the red virginias will ever come through.

I ordered this in a sampler from Craig and I sealed it in a Mason jar for six months. I thought I might like this blend from its description and I wasn't disappointed. It's smooth, yet tangy. A very nice blend of stoved and non-stoved Virginia tobacco. I'll be ordering more for long-term cellaring.
