Esoterica Tobacciana Cardiff
(2.73)
An outstanding, well balanced mixture of four Virginias, pressed until reddish-brown and then fully rubbed up. A truly traditional tobacco for the most discerning palate.

Even with 8 years of age, this blend still just lacks that certain something that makes me say "Hey, I gotta get more of this!".
I like Virginias, but not this one. I had to pay constant close attention to it to avoid getting bitten. Even then, I didn't get away completely clean.
Flavor is mild, and just not worth the effort.

This mixture of darker VAs is fully rubbed out and I normally smoke flakes. Although easy to light and even burning, it smokes too hot for me and was really too dry as received even from a reputable site. Perhaps it's technique, but I don't like to work @ enjoying a tobacco. The flavor, although sweet, is also milder than I normally enjoy.
