John Patton Quadruple Virginia
(2.62)
Removing the Perique from Cool Hand Fluke results in an all-natural, four-Virginia blend that is both tasty and just slightly sweet. Requested by a fan of my blends who loves Virginas but hates Perique. I'm not big on Virginas, but this will be a regular in both my cobs and briars.
Notes: Created in response to a customer request. Sold through 4noggins.com.

For years I have been trying to like Virginia blends. Either they bite, don't stay lit, come in flakes that take too long to smoke, or they are doctored up with frou-frou or perique.
It was a hot summer's day over here when I received a packet of Quad Va from Richard. Getting on for sundown, I packed it in a Sasieni and settled back.
JP says this is four Virginias: you can see different colours in the bag. Like other Patton blends, this is cut rough, with large pieces of leaf -- as if someone went into the storage barn and clipped some off the leaves hanging there.
It came fairly dry from Richard, and crackled a little on packing.
The familiar Virginia tang is there, but muted and biteless. Packed fairly tight it gives a good puff cloud and the flavour builds as you get further down the pipe bowl. Mild, but definitely has a presence. It has that typical JP harshness about it which I like.
I would rate this right up there with just about all the Va blends that I have tried, and would recommend it to anyone. It will be my regular Va from now on, until JP comes up with a replacement.

This is a mild tobacco with little to no bite. I didn't have the lighting issues that the previous reviewer had, so it might have been either moisture content or packing. In any case, the Quadruple Virginia has a very pleasant aroma and taste, and is fast becoming my favorite way to start the day.
