Peter Stokkebye Virginia (No.701)

Peter Stokkebye 701 Virginia is a blend of quality flue-cured leaf from lighter-colored grades. The flavor is naturally sweet, with hay-like and citrusy notes. Great on its own, it also makes a terrific blending component.

Used in ryo cigarettes. Very hay/grassy taste. It reminds me of very cheap made factory cigarettes. It is VERY mild with almost no nic hit what so ever. I do not often smoke American factory made cigarettes but I think it tastes somewhat like an Marlboro ultra light. The cut is short ribbon.

I bought a pound of this a few years ago, intending to use it as a blending tobacco. I put it up in a large glass jar and promptly forgot about it. Recently, while inventorying my tobacco, I came across it and started smoking it, first in a few Stanwell briars and then in an old Barling African meerschaum.
Somewhat to my surprise, it turned out to be a really good Virginia. I am partial to Virginias and so tend to judge them rigorously. I expected PS Virginia 701 to be a monochromatic tobacco. I was wrong. Instead, I discovered that, while mild, it has a lot of character. On lighting up, the taste is sweet and spicy, almost as if it were a VaPer. By mid-bowl, the sugars intensify and it transitions to a raisiny tasting tobacco when smoked in a briar and a citrusy tasting tobacco when smoked in an African meerschaum. Toward the end of the bowl, smoked in a briar, it becomes toasty, while smoked in an African meerschaum it takes on a floral taste. While the PS description says it has no flavoring, I detect a rum casing.
While I've rated it only three stars because of how mild it is, given the price (~$25.00 per pound), this could easily become a regular smoke. If you are partial to pure Virginias, I would recommend you purchase a few ounces and give it a try.

When I first received this it was too fresh. Bland and not very good. Two stars. After aging in the celler for 14 months I tried again. Hay, tangy citrus, bread and pleasantly sweet. I'll be blending this with turkish latakai and some perique. 50/20/20/10. Adjust from there. 3.5 stars

A light, smooth blend. Just the right amount of sweetness and hay done naturally. A wonderful all day smoke and a great blender too. A small portion of Perique or Burley, for a great change of pace. The best Virginia out there for the money and it ages very well.

It's one honest Virginia smoke. Burns hot, regardless of effort. A tad too hot for my liking, perhaps. Good flavor and strong spiciness. The sweetness is just right. Avoid a prolonged re-lighting pause or risk the dreaded cigarette aftertaste.
