The grassy, very tart and tangy citrusy, slightly woody gold leaf Virginia forms the base of the blend. The nutty, toasty, earthy, woody, mildly chocolatey burleys are an important condiment. The dry and lightly sour, woody, mildly floral, earthy, herbal, vegetative, smoky Oriental also offers a little spice, and is always noticeable as slightly more than a background player. The strength and nicotine levels are just past the center of mild to medium, and the taste almost reaches medium. The nic-hit is mild to medium. Won’t bite and has no harsh moments, but does sport a rough edge every so often if you puff fast. Gets a tad stronger in the last third of the experience. Burns cool, clean and a little fast with a very consistent, moderately complex, mildly savory flavor. Hardly leaves any dampness in the bowl, and requires few relights. The pleasant after taste lightly lingers. The room note is a tad stronger. The description claims it’s lighter than Vengeur Regular, but I don’t find that to be the case here. Three and a half stars rounded up to four.

Reviewed as a cigarette tobacco: This to me is the finest blend in the line for making cigarettes with. Burley and Virginia in harmony so the rough edges of each are smoothed and neither takes over. A harmonious blend. Lightly flavored, I get cocoa. My initial impression of this was that it tasted exactly like the Marlboro reds I got hooked on almost 40 years ago. A very satisfying and enjoyable cigarette tobacco.
