Presumably this is intended as a dual use tobacco. It is a bone dry shag of mid to yellow Virginias and looks identical to the tobacco one finds in cigarettes smoked throughout the Commonwealth.

As a pipe tobacco it has very little aroma, is thin, one dimensional and can be harsh at times. It has a pleasant sweetness and a lemon zestiness.

Might be a worthwhile addition for a pipester who wants a neutral, no fuss, nicotine fix in their bowl.

This was a free sample from smokingpipes.

Sweet with a touch of hay and grass. Didn't get any citrus notes or for that matter any other notes at all. Not terribly flavorful but it'll do if there's not anything else available.

Mild to medium in body. Mild in flavor. Burns well. Came dry as a bone.
