After many, many bad experiences with pipe tobacco, I began researching what the choices really were, what made up a blend, what blends I already liked, and what was likely to give me the most enjoyment. Turns out I dislike "Burley," but like Virginia quite a lot.
This tobacco is one of my go-to smokes when I want something good, mild, and inoffensive. Its a great everyday smoke, but might grow a little too mild for some over the long haul. On the other hand, if you want to see what a good Virginia is really like, this is an excellent one to start with.
I usually smoke 3 different bowls in a row: I start out with something mild, then step up to medium (a virginia or a Vanilla-flavored?), then end with something stronger (usually MB Mixture), once my palate is more involved. MB Virginia No. 1 is sometimes the first thing I smoke.
I find Virginia No.1 to be mellow, soft, but to burn hot and have a bit of a bite to it. It smoke pretty well, but I don't seem to get too much of a nicotine "high" from it the way I might from stronger blends, like Mac Baren HH Vintage Latakia.
This is a very good daily smoke, and a great place for people learning about Virginias, or even tobacco in general, to start.
