Pretty much exactly what PS claims it is. A light, naturally sweet Va with citrus and hay notes. This tobacco is completely linear; as others have already noted, don't expect complexity or radical transition as the bowl progresses. What you get in the first puff will be very similar to what you get in the last.
This tobacco burns clean and without attention. I find it clean and refreshing and the acidity suits my mouth enough for it to be an all day 'beater' tobacco.
It is certainly not a 'best in class', but comes at a great price point and is such a user friendly tobacco I am giving it a full 4 stars.

Summary: a good straight Virginia that needs age to reveal its depth but mixes well and is a fine smoke on its own.
It smells bready with a hint of vinegar in the bag, but when lit this Virginia reveals its vegetative flavor with an intense neutral sweetness behind it, like Agave. Burley broadens this into a good lightly-toasted white bread flavor, but this Virginia smokes well straight. It has the faintly rubbery flavor that a good oily Virginia gives; Burleys, which are lower in sugar and oil, burn faster, which is why they often smell like cigarettes. For those of us who love straight Virginia, the faintly acidic tang on this smoke could be an impediment, so it behooves us to cellar this for a couple years to let it mellow. As it stands, this blend offers a great smoke for a low price, and when mixed with just a bit of Burley and dark fired or Perique, will make a fantastic aged blend.

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.
