Just tried this blend for the first time tonight. All I have to say is wow. It is a terrific blend of Red and Black Stoved Virginias with a mild casing. This is a very nice laid back blend that suits it self for a very relaxing smoke. When I opened the tin I was greated with a slight figgy, raisin, vinegar smell (which I like). When I lit up the bowl I was met with a subtle sweetness and hints of tangyness. The taste to me stayed very consistent through out the bowl. I did get a fait dancing of what I would describe as a vanilla in the back ground. I would have to say this a great Virginia blend for those looking to take a dive into virginia. Some may call it a cross-over, some may call it a aromatic. Whatever you call it, if you like something laid back with a good VA taste and a slight hint of vanilla give this blend a try. I would dare to say because this is from the same line as Frog Morton series that what McClelland did with English Blends their they also accomplished with a VA blend in Deep Hollow.
