John Patton Virginia Squire
(2.80)
Four Virginias make up over 90% of this blend, with just an accent of White Burley. The result is a sweet and robust smoke that is a pleasure to DGT, and has a wonderful aftertaste.

This is a Virginia blend in which has a good taste and burns nicely. I had filled a morning pipe and enjoyed this, I'm not a Virginia smoker in the mornings, but opted to try this blend with my morning java. The taste to me is very pleasant, with the "not bitey" Virginia tastes I usual experiance, good taste throughout the entire bowl. A blend which is worthy of the name.

This is a good smoke, but nothing to get too fired up about. The name and description had me anticipating something other than what I sensed. I had anticipated something more Virginia, but experienced something more characteristically Burley.
The Virginia, which I assume to be the same as that used in Quad Va and Cool Hand Fluke, is not as prevalent as it is in those two blends. I believe this is due to the Molasses topping (or Casing) that is clearly in this blend. The description notes a touch of White Burley. I wonder if the White Burley used is Uhle's Crushed White Burley, because the taste strongly reminded me of that blend.
I really don't know if it is that or if the whole blend is topped with molasses, but to my tastes, Molasses takes the lead which makes this more a burley blend than a Virginia Blend IMO thus my expectations not being met. Now don't get me wrong, I do like a molasses topped burley blend and some of them are my favorites. such as Stonehaven, RDF, DSF and DSK to name a few. Well, this is not one of those blends, but I did enjoy it and could easily smoke this all day long.
I am rating this at three stars, because I enjoyed it, it performed well and there were no issues other than the misleading name which resulted in no harm to myself.

This is a mild Virginia with mild flavours that is perfect for my first smoke of the day with my morning cups of tea. It's light with a slight tanginess. Mild nicotine. No tongue bite but two bowls in a row does start to tingle my tongue.
It's good straight but it's also a very good mixer to lighten blends that are too heavy or too high in nicotine for my tastes.
Three stars for a pleasant mild Virginia with just a touch of Burley.

This is a good straight forward Virginia blend with just a touch of sweetness possibly from the white burley. The pouch note offers a slight natural sweet but not cased aroma. Good moisture content.. packs well and only needed one relight.. burned down to a nice ash in the bottom of the bowl. If you like Virginia blends, you will want to try this one.
