I snagged one tin of this from OVT and have not seen it in stock again. Too bad, I rather enjoyed it. Upon opening the tin I caught the whiff of coffee and tobacco, plain and simple. I first tried it in a CG cob and it lit well and burned through. I found Gettysburg to be a delightful "Morning drive smoke," to be enjoyed while I am on my lengthy cruise into the office. I got the simple taste of Virginia tobacco and coffee but none of the "chocolate" of which others have talked about. It was definitely a morning taste and helped to get me ready for the day. 5 Sep 17 I found a few more tins of this in stock this summer and grabbed them up for a trip to Minnesota/Wisconsin. During the drive up there I was able to spend some more time contemplating this blend. Virginias and coffee. To me the "chocolate" is a minor background, like mocha coffee with a strong coffee blend. Over all I find it enjoyable and stimulating without being a huge "nic hit."

I bought several tins of the Civil War series from Old Virginia Tobacco Company. While I'm still fairly new to pipe smoking, Gettysburg is an enjoyable blend. It is a little moist in the tin and smells of strong coffee and dark cocoa. Burns extremely cool and is hard to get any bite. Flavor is of tobacco with a slight coffee taste on the back of the tongue. Stays lit well except for bottom being a little moist at end of smoke. Overall a good smoke for me.

I was a little hesitant to try this at first because I couldn't smell the coffee at all and the toby smelled a little "funky"! Now I am glad I did try this. It's not often that I find a tobacco that I like, but this one is one of those precious few.
Tastes enough to tingle your senses, but not enough to bury the tobacco. Clean, easy and "honest".
Will upgrade this from my Occasional jar to my Regular jar! 😀 Too bad it isn't made anymore!
