A very nice but rather flat tobacco.
A broken flake, golden and brown leaves, all natural, no casing added; sort of smelled like hay freshly cut, but with no sweet smell in the background ( like MacBaren's Virginia no 1).
A beautiful tobacco, but a bit tasteless while being smoked....
Perfect for a beginner that wants to go towards the more natural bakkies, but I've heard the Four Square line is now discontinued.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it might still be available in Europe...

This one is very similar to Astley's No. 109. Top quality VA leaf, natural sweet taste, nicely matured, good burn qualities, won't bite anyone but unfortunately way too mild in the nic-department. My tin was 15 years old, but the ageing did not make this one worth very much... I'll stick to my stronger VA's...

Dobie's Red, as I usually call Ready Rubbed Flake), was a generously mild flake of mostly Virginias with an Oriental element that added a touch of spice and sweetness. Rare to find leaf of this quality anymore, and with all the aging the impression is bound to be... well, impressive!

The original version of this was sub-titled "Ripe Brown". With a name like that you just have to try it. It was my first taste of Dark shag cut Va., and it was heavenly. Very rich, full bodied flavor, with a fair strength. A more refined Royal Yacht. Generally smoked cool and dry, unless puffed too fast. I hope the new version is the same quality, but I haven't found any yet.
