There are several Virginias present, ranging from light to brown and red. The lighter Virginia offers some grass and tart citrus and is a tad more obvious than the mild tangy ripe dark fruity, woody, earthy red Virginia. The red Va. lacks depth for some reason. There's also a McClelland "vinegar" note that is very mild, but vanishes fairly quickly. It's semi-sweet. The strength and taste levels are mild. Very little nicotine is present. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool, clean and smooth with a very consistent mildly sweet flavor that translates to short lived after taste. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, and requires a few relights. Has an pleasant room note. An all day smoke that’s rather ordinary in every way. Two and half stars.
