fnord, the tinned Low Country blends are still offered, five of them, on the Low Country tinned page. The new offers are all bulk and all but two of them are aromatic, since, I suppose, the market for aromatics is much larger than for non-aro. I do miss the old artwork on the tins, but c'est la vie.
I have been smoking Low Country: Natural Virginia & Burley for a couple of months now and on my 3rd pound. Great burley forward blend that I highly recommend.At less than 20 bucks a pound its a no brainer .
The first pound I got was a little dry and did some slight hydrating on it. The other two pounds were perfect moisture.
I posted a review on it about a month ago on TR and on smokingpipes. It has become my favorite all day smoke.

I've heard some tall tales but that one takes the cake. Did the wife have a gun to your head and make you type that? :rofl:
On a serious note I'd like to know if Jim has tried them yet.
/"quote" What blend/tobacco would you add to the Va-Oriental to give it a stronger buttery taste/smoke? "quote"
If it was me i would add maduro cigar leaf, 10% or less. Give it a few days to marriage with the other tobaccos.
I saw their add up last month and got a few OZ each to sample and blend, Natural Virginia is smooth and I blended some with their Vanilla, not a bad combo
