Summary: tasty honey-infused Va/Per that is not too sweet and conditions the Perique into more of a citrus than fleshy fruit taste.
This blend never got the respect it deserved. Open the tin and you will find a neat stack of perfect flakes which have the fermented smell of Perique and a vinegar/honey scent of Virginia. Fold, twist, spike, and roll into your bowl and the first light reveals a wonderful white bread toast flavor with the faintest hints of citrus and honey. As the bowl burns down, the Virginias caramelize and the honey-citrus flavor takes over with an overtone like molasses. While this blend is arguably better than some of the blends from large tobacco firms of a similar nature, it was also sold in tins at higher prices than those bulk orders could do, so people saw no reason to leap to it. It also, by not being as sweet as either the breakfast cereal Va/Pers like "Golden Sliced" or the sugar-frosted hay Va/Pers like "Escudo," limited its own audience. It is fantastic mixed 55-45% with "Cube Cut Burley," which is pretty much how I consume Va/Pers at this point to reduce sugars; the Bur/Va/Per (a better term than "vaburper") is pretty much the apex of this genre.
