I would say if a person really liked reds the 25th is a great option but you have to be willing to spend much more per ounce. Reds are bite-y to me but even so I bought 4 tins just to see how it does with time but I prefer the regular OD over the 25th.
I did go back and order 2 Lbs of the Glass Slipper though. That one just really agreed with me and I'm looking forward to a long relationship with it.
I love reds. If anything bites me, it's heavy Latakia. I liked the last 2 years of Cringle Flake and this is in the same vein, but with younger Virginias. As for the price, I believe it's a case of getting what you pay for. There are some manufacturers whose red Virginias do not excite me in the least.
I'm smoking another bowl of the Glass Slipper, this time dried just right. It is a very agreeable blend.
