This is a Hearth and Home product.
The Kake in the tin is more like thick strips of a pure mild to medium Virginia blend with no topping. An extremely light tanginess from the red Virginia works well with the others, which offer a mellow sweetness and a tame light citrus note. There is slight grass essence or two that contrasts well with the inherent earthiness of the brown Virginia. The strips break apart with ease, allowing for a very smooth and even burn with virtually no moisture at the finish. It's not a complex blend, and the nic-hit is mild. It's a well crafted starting place for those looking to venture into the realm of straight Virginias. The experienced smoker might feel it lacks some depth compared to stronger Va. offerings, but may also welcome a lighter change of pace. I imagine this blend will age exceptionally well when cellared.
