Thanks. Rest assured, I'm not throwing it away. I'll store it in small Mason jars and come back to it in a few years.
Have you got anything to report yet, ashdigger? I’ve grown to like this blend recently. I’m receiving another two and a half pounds today, and I’m curious how it ages.
I love Virginia Flake but the 507c was not one of my favorites. I like it but not as much as some others like NM 400 OGS etc. I am interested to see if age changes it.
Aging really improves this IMO, even a few months makes a difference
The 2.5lbs I received from P&C is dark brown, as opposed to the light, hay yellow-brown of fresh VA slices. I assume it’s age, but to have changed color so much it must be at least a year of age. However old, if it is just aged VA slices, then I prefer it fresh. I might’ve just been sent the wrong blend.. I’m receiving another 2lbs from SP on Saturday. We’ll see how that will be.
I went back to the 507c yesterday I had stoved a couple of ounces about a month ago. After stoving and sitting for a month I liked it very much. I have changed my opinion completely glad I read this thread and revisited it.
Simple is fine with me as long as it’s simply good. Especially at that price and so readily available. My cellar is padded with several jars.
Albeit a simple smoke, this remains in my rotation for daily smokes. When I'm at a loss as of what to smoke, I find myself reaching for this often. Great grassy, hay flavor. It paired well with a pinch of Amphora Burley that I added to a bowl a couple times. I'm unsure if aging this blend will do much, but I do keep my cellar stocked with a fair amount because it's such an easy smoking blend for thise times when I want a blend thats not overly complex.
Good to read the reviews and opinions here on 507-C.
I've a pound of the stuff jarred that's around 3yo.
@AppalachianPiper92 many straight Virginias do real well with "a pinch" of added Burley [As Burley blends can often do with a pinch of Virginia]. I'll try that when I get the urge to open my jar.

If it tastes like breasts I'll pick some up as well!
LOL. I meant to say bready*If it tastes like breasts I'll pick some up as well!
Two years of aging Sutliff Virginia Slices has mellowed and improved it.
I firmly believe every dedicated pipe smoker should have anouf a half a pound at least of Virginia Slices in their stash of tobacco.
It’s good, ripe, matured, tasty Virginia put up in slices, with Sutliff’s secret sauce added to make it distinctive, and at cheap prices in bulk.
Tobacco gets different than this but really not any better, for the type.
