Here tis!
The matured bright Virginia flakes provide a lot of fermented tart and tangy citrus, bread, sour lemon, vegetative grass, some sugar, floralness, spice, hay, a little earth, wood and a hint of acidity. Has a couple of mild, sugary fruit toppings. The strength and nic-hit are a couple of steps past the center of mild to medium, while the taste is a notch short of the medium threshold. Won’t bite or get harsh. Has a few small rough edges as bright Virginias will, but the toppings greatly reduce them. It’s mildly moist, but I saw no need for any dry time. Your mileage may vary on that point. Burns cool, clean and a little slow with a very consistent, rather comfortable flavor from start to finish. Has a moderately lingering, pleasant after taste. The room note is a tad stronger. Leaves little dampness in the bowl. Requires a few relights. Can be an all day smoke. Four stars out of four.
