Butera Dark Stoved
(2.91)
For the connoisseur who appreciates and enjoys the tangy, fragrant aromas, and sweet, rich tastes of well-seasoned, dark stoved tobaccos. A single zesty lemon Virginia leaf, picked at its peak, aged to perfection, carefully slow-stoved under pressure until the cakes turn to beautiful chocolate brown. Cut to flake form, Dark Stoved offers a maze of diverse tastes, with a mysterious flavor curve ranging from tart and spicy, through smooth and mellow... The perfect after-dinner, evening smoke... Cool and slow burning from top to bottom.

This so far the best of dark stoved type tobaccos. It's easier to work than McClellands Dark Star and a creamier flavor. I really like this tobaccos tart/sweet flavor interplay. Dark Stoved lights and burns well down to a whit ash. Not a real heavy smoke but satisfying to me. But don't listen to me try it for yourself.

I'm not a big enthusiast of the McClelland Tobaccos other than the Nording Hunter Blends. I love the taste of a Sweet Virginia this one just did have it for me, it left my throat feeling like it was hot and dry at times and I credit that to that Zesty Lemon, but I had to try it.

This tobacco is made for Butera by McClelland and is similar to Dark Star or 2035. The tobacco comes in slices that are somewhat more broken out than Dark Star. I had some Dark Star on hand when I tried Dark Stoved. The color of Dark Stoved is very dark brown, but not as dark as Dark Star. Dark Stoved has more of a Virginia taste, is less naturally sweet and has more complexity to the flavor than Dark Star.
I have always had a tonguebite problem with Virginias and Dark Stoved was no exception, though the bite was certainly less than some. While I found Dark Stoved to be good, I still find myself preferring Dark Star and McCranies Red Ribbon when I want Virginias. Both the Dark Star and McCranies are flavorful, but without tonguebite for me.
