It's one of my favorite tobaccos. I've been smoking it for a long time and I can't think of another tobacco that can beat it when it comes to being an everyday smoke and a special smoke depending on how you treat it and how much age it has. It was one of my first tinned tobaccos and it has stuck with me. I have 3 or 4 tins in the cellar and am currently smoking a tin from 2004. HV and Patriot Flake are my favorite Dan Tobacco blends. Great stuff.

One of my favorite Virginia's because it doesn't bite me at all, and I do enjoy the flavor quite a bit.

1. Didi is elder sister not little sister
2. It is used as a mark of respect/endearment to ladies ... like we call lady pipe smokers Sister Of The Leaf
3. To maintain dignity / respect of labor, people of less respected professions are always called Brother / Sister / Uncle, etc... which is social etiquette
4. In some cases #3 is just euphemism (As you picked up from your stay)

This is also funny to me as I am trying to learn Hindi for my time in India. Didi in Hindi means little sister. It's also what you call a lady who does a job that is not prestigious...like an elevator attendant.
