Milan Tobbaconist Doctor's Orders

Appearance: nice variegated mix of light and dark ribbons
Tin Note: your basic tobacco aroma, very nice.
First light: not a whole lot yet, flavoring is light.
Mid bowl: The blend wakes up after a few minutes, and you can pick out the VA, burley, and cavendish. Not a whole lot of flavoring, in fact I really couldn't detect any. Burned okay (I let all the samples dry overnight when they first arrived). Mild vitamin N.
Pipe used: Cob
Overall, this one didn't exactly turn my crank, so the balance now sits in the "components" drawer of my tobacco file, awaiting inclusion in a pressed flake. Actually about half of it resides in the tobacco cabinet of my main tobacco/cigar-trading friend at work, along with half of all the other samples. Spreadin' it around - Virginia is for tobacco lovers
