The release date for this limited edition in Jan. 24.

The multi-continental, matured, darkened bright Virginia flakes provide a moderate amount of tart and tangy citrus, bread, vegetative grass/hay, some sugar, mild floralness, honey, spice, wood, earth, peat, sour lemon, and light smoke along with a light graham cracker note. Has an extremely mild sweet casing, and no topping. The strength and nic-hit are a step past the center of mild to medium. The taste is a notch more potent, and doesn’t reach the medium mark. There’s no chance of bite, acidity or harshness. Has a few very minute rough edges. The mildly moist flakes easily break apart, and don’t need any dry time. Burns cool, clean and a bit slow with a very consistent flavor. The after taste pleasantly lingering for a short time. The room note is pleasant as well. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires some relights. An all day straight Virginia with enough character to hold your interest. Three and a half stars rounded up to four stars.
