Sweetest Virginia Ever

I'm curious as to how their gold flake compares to their gold brick.

I haven't tried the brick either... heavy sigh... there's too much tobacco and too little time... and I'm on disability and have only time!! So that's saying something!

The Wessex Gold Brick and the Slices aren't on the sweet side, IMO, but they are more wine-like in flavor. Truly fantastic smokes. Wessex makes some good stuff.

Thanks Cos! Exactly what I needed to know!

I got my gold brick in. Haven't tried it yet.
Nate how are your tins going? Find anything you like? We need an update.

I've had a brick sitting around in my cellar. The tobacconist told me, "It's sweet and hay-like."
"Eh, I'm leaning towards drier Virginias, right now," was my response.
"Well..." he continued, "...it's not that sweet."
Always the salesman! I'll leave it aging -- as my taste do change throughout the year.

Is that a salesman or a dealer? lol
If you get around to cracking that baby open Jeffrey you'll have to give us a small review.

It's smart business! ... when dealing with an addict. :wink:

This is wicked good stuff and def what I was looking for. Terrific, I needed another beloved, impossible to locate tobacco.

Don't worry Nate, CVP inventory fluctuates. A year ago you could buy it anywhere. It will be back.
