This is an all Virginia Blend.
Ignore the label. Its not " Sweet " but a bitter Virginia style. This could vary, but not likely.
This is a decent, long burning, smoke that may improve with some age, but ok right out of the tin.
I generally avoid anything that C&D has laid hands on, but this one got past me as they seem to put things together for a number of people who are not doing their own thing.

You would not think that I'd be reaching for this blend 1st thing every day for the last 3 weeks but this was the case. It was a surprise to me. For a " Sweeter " Virginia blend, try " Dan's " from Boswells in PA. The fragrance out of the pouch is excellent. Somehow Nordings instructions proved useful. It would seem to be more about Sources in some ways.

It's been a while but I remember it being very sweet. Getting it too hot will ruin it though.

cornell DOES make some good tobacco, but they normally screw it up with the topping.

Still, how does it really go once a pipe is smoked with nothing else in it?

A few eu retailers list nording blends as discontinued. Some no longer list the brand at all.

Yeah this is a different iteration from C&D... I'm not sure who did the first production but I believe I heard it was the same people who made Brigham's? But I'm honestly not sure.
