This is a delicious, heavy smoke that is more savory than sweet. As others have pointed out, it's also got one heck of a Nicotine kick.
I've found that I greatly prefer the Ready Rubbed version and am now cellaring it in quantity. I find the virginias to be a lot more pronounced in the RR version, which gives it a little more sweetness. The two versions are very similar, however, and many smokers might not discern any serious differences.
This is one of those GL Pease blends in which Greg has elevated blending to an art form. It's not just tobacco, it's an experience (in the right pipe at the right moisture, etc etc).
