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.

When I look at the Virginia/Burley blends that rate well on this site, they're almost all very Burley-forward or knee deep in dark fired Kentucky. This is not that smoke.
Virginia Squire is a Virginia, with a touch of Burley in it to provide body. Ribbon cut with a few little nuggets of compressed leaf mixed throughout, it packs and smokes cool and easy. The added Burley gives just enough backbone to what tastes like more yellow than red Virginias.
Taken for what it is, it's an excellent smoke. The flavors are delicate, and won't in any way resemble Mac Baren's Navy Flake. Think in the direction of a more natural Dunhill Ultra Mild.

What a treat this is. I'm discovering that I'm a fan of Virginias, and this one is no exception. The added White Burley really adds some depth of flavor and increases the strength a bit over Patton's Quadruple Virginia blend. Little to no bite at all, and a pleasant smoke any time of day. Of the four blends I've tried thus far by John Patton, this one is my favorite.
