Ive tried several bowls of this, and I'm just not impressed. It's an okay smoke, don't get me wrong, but there's just something missing. Is it an aromatic? A straight Virginia? Who knows? I'll finish the tin and I might write a formal review, been awhile since I've done one.
Apologize for any typos, Im typing this on my phone and I have huge hands.

ithelo, help me a little ... is this a Va/Per? McClellands? What's supposed to be in it? It sounds like one to avoid, but

maybe not.

I've got a couple tins of it in the cellar, but I've yet to try any.

It's been a while since I read the description, but I was under the impression that it's mostly Va.

It is actually part of the Craftsbury Collection, so I don't doubt that it's actually a crossover of some sort. Kinda like Deep Hollow, which is actually quite nice.

To reaffirm what Pete stated, it's a cross-over blend. It's slightly aromatic from what I had experienced. I'm also not impressed with it, but it wasn't bad. A review would be great as I've never read one on this blend. Keep at it.

agree on the crossover aspect, which I often enjoy. I like Grey Havens, it was my first tin of tobacco and I still enjoy it. Deep Hollow is also on my list to try. But for some reason this one hasn't grabbed me yet. I'll try it out of a few different shapes and see if that changes things...
