Ok ..I admit it..I had a dread fear of VA blend tobaccos going back to the mid 90's when I tried almost all of the Mac B blends and other blends with a high content of Red VA tobacco. Just within the last 6 months have I started to try some VA blends and have been quite surprised, and this one rates as another of of my favorites!
This is one smooth and cool character, if this tobacco was a person it would be that person who would be able pick your pocket if you with him alone in an elevator and when he denied doing it ..you believed him! This tobacco is SMOOTH..not once during the two bowls I smoked last night did I experience anything remotely harsh or notice any bite. The tobacco stayed lit without much effort and it was quite easy to break the flakes and pack my pipe as well.
The pouch aroma was something sweet...I was told coconut and I find that pretty much spot on but while smoking it the coconut did not seem out of place at all. A perfect MATCH!
Once again I have found another VA blend to add to my growing collection of jars!

My cellar knows of what I speak... |

I was that way about Burleys, but it was more my misconception I find out 45 years later

I'm a big time Burley fan myself. You'll never find me without a pouch of 5brothers in my pocket. Have tons of PS cellared. Guess I'll try some again.

Man, I wish I could have liked this stuff, and the other PS flakes. The reviews always sound so good, but once again it must be a body chemistry thing. I find it just the opposite of smooth and cool. Same with Dunhill DDNR, Davidoff Flake Medallions etc. But I don't get that reaction with SG VA flakes, or most McClelland VAs. Must be something about the VAs those Dutch blenders use.  |

I have problems with Red Virginia. That leaf makes my face melt and for many years I avoided most VA blends before I found out it was Red VA and not Va tobacco in general. |

It's great. What happened with me, when I was younger, I guess I puffed too hard on everything. No forums to set me right. So, I blamed ones that bit At least I learned |

I almost quite pipe smoking that night! |
