Not one for flavored Va's but WOW! Perfectly executed and wonderfully cool and thick clouds of smoke!

Reading the reviews, I'm rather surprised that Cask No.9 is not more popular. Yes it did take me more than a few bowls to get the feel for this blend but I rather like it, especially first thing with a cup of Liptons tea.
It appears that I'm the only one that does not pick up on the vanilla in either the bag note or the taste. Cocoa is the predominant flavouring that is applied lightly so that one tastes actual tobacco. The Virginias are obvious as one would expect. If there's Burley I'll take the word of those with a more developed palate. [Although I don't taste it, Virginia blends benefit with a dash of Burley. It takes off the edge] There is a touch of spiciness that I like. #9 does tingle the tongue but it does not bite.
Burns well, smokes cool. Leaves little to no moisture burning to ash. Mild, tasty, smooth and does not bite. Mild nicotine. Could easily be an all day smoke. If I had nothing else I would not complain.
2.2 stars. Really? Where's the love? Highly recommended for beginners and those who enjoy smooth, mild semi-aromatics. Also a good introduction to Virginia blends.
