I am pretty much in line with the reviewer "Paddy" above. "Rich Dark Virginia" was, for me, not much taste and a lot of "harsh". Can't find even one star for it.

This is better than McConnell's Red VA, but not appreciably. Again, I have a chemically poor reaction to this, and it tastes cigarette-like to me. If you love Red Virginias in the McClelland/McConnell/McCranies style, you will probably really enjoy this. For me though, it doesn't rate.

I do not know what I was thinking when I purchased this tobacco, oh yes now I remember Rich Dark Virginia Tobacco Matured In Bond.
First off the tobacco did present itself as a nice Virginia Blend upon opening the tin, although I was expecting a little more freshness, although, it did present a very sweet tasting tobacco from the first match to the end of the bowl. I think I may be a glutton for punishment as this is my third bowl in as many days. I wanted to give this a fair trial before canning (trashing) is probably a better word .
I was looking for something a little more stout than what this tobacco can deliver and I can truthfully say it will never be purchased by me again.

Almost identical to Astley's #88 in appearance. It appears to be a stoved Virginia. It has a neutral sweetener and a mild, but acceptable level of Virginia flavor. Unfortunately, it has a bad edge to it. I suspect it is the result of expert treatment of inferior Virginia. Paddy.
