This blend has been a pleasant surprise.
I bought this tin and it came with almost three years of age on it. No complaints here.
My first suggestion. Open the tin, close it for a month, and then put it in a mason jar. That is what I did on accident, and this is sublime.
The flakes break apart in seconds. To a very nice consistency, perfect for loading.
The initial light reveals a nice sweet fresh tobacco taste I have come to love from virginias. Almost a sweet hay. But it ends there. Once your pipe starts smoldering, with the thick white clouds of greasy goodness called smoke, there is an onslaught of bread and a slight sweetness that is almost tart. In good way. The entire bowl stays full and develops for as long as you smoke it.
Not a single relight, and it burns to a nice mixed color ash.
No chance of a bite, but you do feel that Va nip every now and then. Personally, I enjoy it.
Nic is medium. Not really strong, but enough to keep you satisfied.
As a lover of Va, I am glad this worked out for me. This will be a staple from now on.
