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.

My First Light has been in a Mason jar for nearly a decade and it has gone from red to dark brown. The Virginia taste is not at all grassy, but more of the naturally sweet notes you get from a quality Red. The aging has certainly provided its pleasures as the ripeness of the high sugar content leaf has left its mark. A truly wonderful smoke. Not a lot of depth or strength, but a soft caress of quality sweet Virginia.

See review for 5100. It is identical, which is a common tobacco shop practice.

This is certainly McClellands #5100. Rich and toasty- if you want some better reviews- look there.
