The flue cured Virginias provide a bit of tart and tangy citrus and grass/hay, a little earth, and touches of dark fruit, smoke, wood, honey and spice. The strength and taste levels are a step past mild as is the nic-hit. Won’t bite or get harsh, but does sport a light rough edge. The tobacco is a little dry, but performs well even without hydration, so I suggest a slow smoking cadence. Burns cool, clean and a little fast with a very consistent, mostly one dimensional flavor. Leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl. Requires few relights. Has a lightly lingering, pleasant after taste and room note. An easy going all day work and play smoke that would make a good mixer, too.

This tobacco would be a complete waste of time in a pipe, so only continue reading if you RYO.
This is my all time every day cigarette tobacco. Sure, I love GH Kendal Dark, D&R Ryback Gold and Stokkebye Amsterdam, but they're too rich and too strong to smoke again and again all day long. More of an after dinner cigarette.
This tobacco is light. Lighter than Penhooker Silver. Paired with a light tube, this gives you a cigarette that is real tobacco and won't have you in respiratory distress by the end of the day.
Flavor wise, there is light Va sweetness, and almost a little of that Lucky Strike toasted quality. In any event, you aren't smoking this to write reviews about, but at the same time it's light years better than any modern commercial cigarette. At $20 a pound it's freaking awesome tobacco.
It's good. It makes a great cigarette. Don't put it in a pipe.

Windsail Platinum is my girls favorite blend of RYO as it is very light and extremely high quality. She went from smoking Parliament cigs to WSP and has never looked back. WSP is a standard ribbon cut that's perfect for your average hand roller that stuffs tubes and is very light both in taste and aroma but the quality is off the charts. This company blows just about every other RYO tobacco out of the water, the only company I prefer more is Bali Shag Blue Halfzware and that's due to the unique topping and strength but would be more than happy if all I had to smoke was D&R stuck on a deserted island... 4 stars for RYO, 3 for a pipe...

Good grade of Virginia tobaccos. Absolutely no stems,seeds or shake. VERY few bits of leaf vein. Great taste,and I detected no flavorings. I stuff in full flavor tubes,and didnt get the "hit" on intake that one expects from a cig...however the taste is in a class of its own,and the nicotine level is great..Im a former Camel filter smoker,so for me to detect nicotine in a ryo..it has to be THERE!! This tobacco in a ff tube is almost as close as you can get to a Marlboro light or medium. Pretty much identicle. I seriously doubt I could tell the difference between them and this tobacco if I were blindfolded. Good by itself,or as a mixer.
