The grass and citrus from the Virginia are greatly sublimated by rich rum and vanilla toppings. The vanilla is mild and takes a subordinate position behind the rum. The sugary black cavendish is always obvious. The strength is in the center of mild to medium, and the taste is a couple of steps past that mark. Barely has any nicotine. Won’t bite or get harsh. Needs a little dry time, but burns clean, cool and a tad slow with a very consistent flavor from top to bottom. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but no goop. Requires some relights if not dried. Has a very pleasantly lingering after taste and room note. An all day smoke.

I kept overlooking this tin at my store for a long time. The description really did not peak my interest. Finally took the plunge and was pleasantly surprised. Not overly-cased. Nice balance. Certainly WAY better than 90% of the Brigham pouch styled PG doused Aros. I reach for this when I want something with some sweetness to it or need to impress the neighbors.

Very nice. Has the usual bitter chem taste at the start as with any aromatic. It is overcome by an nice sweet rum with only a hint of Vanilla. If you get a tad carried away trying to lap up the rummy vanilla goodness it will nip a little, so sip slowly in a larger bowl. One must realize that a three star to me is quite outstanding and above average. I recommend this to the Canuck croud who perhaps have an easier time getting a hold of this. This is one of the finer Brigham blends I have run across. Thanks, merci, diolch
