First impressions based a few smokes from the just delivered parcel loaded with forum appreciation goodies, as well as at a huge 35% discount. Uncontrollable smile every time I think how low priced this superb selection of Virginia's are. Who says the best has to be expensive?
Not a light smoker, but this is the one Virginia I have not sampled yet. Always looking for the best neutral blender types, figured I need to try.
Came in two bags. I guess it's lower density is too much for one standard sized. Nice solid yellow color. Aroma is same as the Bright, just less pronounced. In handling, first notice how much thinner and lighter weight it is. Smooth to the touch, not sticky like the Red. Super fluffy. After preparing, have to say, I was not expecting much being a full favor and more type. Nice side benefit, the thin leaf just glides thru my TOM, truely effortless.
Once lit, surprised by the flavor blast upon exhaling! Few tobaccos impress me with any flavor as exhaling. Truely unique and I think fantastic! Superb draw, another great feature! By no means a bland light tobacco, it has stand alone greatness... totally surprised this full/bold/bolder flavor type smoker!
Love to chain smoke, and have been giggly doing so with this stuff. Burns fast and nicotine is definitely less than the others.
Anything but lackluster, I will follow up with long term impressions of this so far wonderful tobacco.
