Obviously its all personal preference but ive read that virginias are generally more mild.
Ive really enjoyed stanwell fruit and vanilla, macbaren vanilla and mcclelland bombay extra (an aromatic burley/Cavendish, an aromatic Cavendish and an english)
But mcclelland navy Cavendish, blackwoods an matured Virginias (all Virginias) taste harsher and more caustic....
Actually... as i say this... im smoking matured Virginias right now... and its getting much better as i type...
So maybe one of 3 explanations...
1. This is my first time leaving out the balsa filter
2. This is my first time breaking up a flake and packing it like ribbon
3. Maybe as i type... im slowing down... and virginias need to be smoked more slowly...
What do you think?
Anyone else get sour tastes out of virginias?
