1776 Tobacco Co Old Dominion
(3.00)
The first and still the finest, all black smoking blend. Unsurpassed mildness makes this a blend for cigarette smokers changing to a pipe. Lightly aromatic, charcoal toasted, and 100% Virginia leaf.

I'm in the same camp as Jiminks with this one. It just doesn't do anything for me on any level. Taken as a stoved Virginia blend, it falls short of so many other offerings such as McClelland Dark Star or Rattray's Dark Fragrant to name a few. But those blends are not typically topped, at least to the extent that OD is.
I think this really puts OD into the category of solid aromatic, in which case it still fails to my tastes. It is a molasses type taste. Almost a worcestshire sauce type taste. I just did not like the taste. I never really got any compliments on the room note on this blend despite numerous smokes around discerning noses.
On the plus side, it does take a light a little easier than most stoved vas that I have had, but does go out quite often throughout the smoke. It does also smoke kind of dry, particularly considering it arrives somewhat moist.
I definitely did not like this blend and would never reorder, but some obviously do, based on the high ratings. I am leaving it at two stars in deference to those who enjoy it.
