Brigham Acadian Blend
(2.14)
This is a shag-cut blend of light and medium brown Virginias with a high percentage of fruity black perique. Mild, naturally sweet, pure tobacco flavor.
Notes: This tobacco was formerly packaged under the brand Mr. B's blend "Tudor Mixture" as part of their D-Series - only the label on the tin has changed. Intended to offer an equivalent to Dunhill's "Elizabethan Mixture".

The Virginias are more grassy than earthy, and have some tart and tangy citrus with a minor dark fruitiness. The earthy, woody perique offers some spice, and stewed raisin, fig and plum as a complimentary, subordinate component. The strength is in the center of mild to medium. The taste level is a step past that mark. The nic-hit is just a little past the mild level. Not a complex mixture, but fairly well balanced, it burns cool at a little more than moderate pace as it’s a shag cut, so I recommend a slower puffing cadence. Won’t bite, and has no harsh spots, but it does carry a few dull moments in the last third of the proceedings. The flavor is mostly consistent to the finish. Requires very few relights, and leaves almost no moisture in the bowl. The after taste is pleasant, but short lived. The room note is tad stronger. An all day smoke that makes a decent every level VaPer for the beginner, but suffers a little from the lack of flavor depth and dimension. Two and a half stars.

The Virginias are sweet and very grassy with a touch of citrus tang. The Perique is mildly plummy/figgy with a modest amount of spice. The flavor profile is a bit too grassy for my taste. Other than that it's a decent smoke. Can be just a touch sharp on the retrohale.
Mild to medium in taste and body. No added flavoring detected. Burns very well.

This one didn't do a whole lot for me. It was dumped on me by a forum buddy who felt about the same. I smoked several bowls of this and, overall, none were memorable. The sweetness was only so so and the perique was not very spicy. I think the blend is cased to a pretty high degree as it never really seemed to dry out.
In that respect it reminded me of Anniversary Kake, but this one lacked both the flavor and punch of that blend. I am giving this two stars as it may be the only vaper that is produced by a Canadian blender and if you are a Canadian then you could do worse for a vaper, but otherwise I would not really recommend this one and won't be purchasing anymore.
