I haven’t been smoking a pipe for long and can’t tell much of the flavour, this deep flavour is similar to the price I only taste from the GH brown Flake, but the aroma is relatively clean and impressive.

One of the better current production Virginias. Even though it’s quite moist it burns well. Can bite a little if pushed too hard which is easy to do because it tastes so good. Absolutely excellent.

If you like a good straight Virginia like Hal O the Wynd, you will want to get your hands on this one. Smooth hay with dark fruits and medium nic-hit.
