Red Virginias

[bent1]

The real "vinegary" stuff was made by McClelland, a byproduct of their processing. It flashed off pretty quickly. Aged red Virginias tend to have more of a tang to them. Occasionally, some Virginias develop a more prominent sweetness to them after years of aging, or they don't.

I’ve noticed that tang vs sweetness in the same blend. Had a small jar of 5100 that had a citrus twinge to it, worked well blending with Haunted Bookshop.

No fans of Sutliff 515-RC-1? I love that stuff, especially in the summertime.

Can anyone suggest Red leaning tobaccos that are in Europe?

HU Janneman Flake is outstanding for my taste.

Solani Silver Flake in 100 gr tins comes to mind

Simply Red from Watch City Cigar is a good tasting red.

Be careful of Watch City. Many of their offerings have distinct flavorings added.

I was about to add some HU My Red Fox to some Sutliff 515 RC-1 to kick up the strength a bit. I find MRF to be stronger and spicier and 515 to be more tangy (vinegar).

I was surprised how much they look alike. In great light, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. HU on the left and Sutliff on the right.
