How the heck I never reviewed Cotton's Mellow Virginia before now is beyond me. I just got in a few tins to sell and came to TRC to see what I had written about it as I couldn't remember what I thought of it. When I saw that I had not reviewed it, I went back to my notes and found what I wrote back in 1992 -
"Not nearly as wonderful at the match as was the tin note, but still quite good. Not nearly as mellow as the name implies as this one has a little kick. An all natural Virginia taste with lots of beef but little gravy. Straight forward Virginia flavor of fine quality and depth."

I was able to acquire a tin recently of Mellow Virginia from a friend and I am not sure of its age, but it was more than ten years old. The tin scent is very, very inviting. It burns clean with no bite. Although sweet, it had less sweetness than other Virginia's that I have smoked of similar age. It is very straightforward with no complexity. I don’t get any fruitiness or hay, but the flavor, beyond me to describe, it unlike any Virginia that I can recall. Overall MV is a good entry into the Virginia market, but I wouldn’t pay the high eBay price for another rare tin.
