McCranie's First Light
(3.43)
A style of Virginia seldom seen in America. A red cake, fully-rubbed, matured Virginia that is exceptionally soft, and carefully aged to bring out the natural sweetness.

It has a rich, ripe dark fruit red Virginia taste with light spice and some earth. There are some dried fruit notes, which is the only complexity it has besides the "vinegar" smell, which isn't in the actual smoke. Has a mild nic-hit. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns cool, clean and a little slow with a very smooth, consistent flavor, though it leaves a little moisture at the finish. Needs a few relights, and can be an all day smoke. When it takes its glasses off in a phone booth, it becomes McClellands' 5100 Red Cake.

Also noticed this blend wasn't reviewed as of yet. For those who may not know, this is actually McClelland #5100, another bulk blend readily available at many shoppes by another name. See the numerous reviews for #5100.
As I've just heard of the space shuttle Columbia disaster, let this humble gesture symbolize a moment of silence for those lost in this tragedy and may all those effected by it find solace
