The matured Virginias offer a wealth of tart and tangy citrus, grass/hay, bread, sugar, mild vegetation, straw, floralness, spice, slight tangy darker fruit, earth, wood, and a touch of sour lemon. The honey and orange toppings mildly tone down the tobaccos with the honey being a tad more obvious. The strength and nic-hit are a couple steps past the center of mild to medium. The taste barely reaches the medium mark. There’s no chance of bite or harshness. Barely has any rough edges. The mildly moist flakes easily break apart, and need no dry time. Burns cool, clean, and slightly slow with a very consistent deeply rich, fermented sweet flavor. Has a very pleasant room note. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a couple more than an average number of relights. An all day smoke. Three and a half stars.
