This one is easy. It's Stonehaven before pressing. If you like Stonehaven but don't want to have to rub it out this will give you that option.

A fragrant, well-balanced, bite-free tobacco. The Virginia and burley work beautifully together here. This is truly wonderful stuff, and were it more available in my area, I would make it an every day companion. As it is, however, I'm always content to pack a pipe with Tilbury.

While VA blends are far from the first sort of mixture I reach for first, this is a real winner. Like all Esoterica it is extremely smooth and very refined. It has a silky, candy like quality but is not unnaturally sweet. Plenty of layers of natural flavor which range from a bit spicy to straightforward tobacco. It reminds me quite a bit of the base of most lakeland flakes, without the excess of a topping. I agree that it is definitely an evening smoke - at least for me.

I have been eyeing this tobacco for quite awhile, although not much for the English Blends but this one caught my attention. "A Broad-cut Extra Mature Virginia." I do enjoy a matured Virginia Blend as I do smoke Dunhill Three Year Matured, if Esoterica Tobacciana is as good as the Dunhill, it will remain on my very long list of One Of My Favorites.
I believe everything that has been said has been noted, Good, Bad or Indifferent personally I like this tobacco and that is what really matters. This may be potent and may cause dizziness and maybe not for the pipe smoker who is looking for a Very Mild to Mild tobacco although, it is very good tasting tobacco, maybe just a bit more prominent than Three Year Matured.
