About This Pipe Tobacco
High grade Old Belt golden Virginias. Sweet, with just a hint of citrus, because of a naturally high sugar content and relatively low presence of oil, this bright leaf makes both a fine companion to a Burley and a dandy smoke all its own.

or perique. Adding a bit of Red Virginia makes it bolder or you add a bit of this to red Virginia to bring out more sweetness of the red. I like to blend it half and half with C&D Virginia Flake to deepen the bright leaf character and tone down the possiblity of harshness without diluting it. It's a good one to keep on hand for tweaking blends....Read More

no flavor whatsoever unless mixed with something else. I blended some with Prince Albert and it was ok, i guess. alone, it will not stay lit. I'm not new at this, I've been smoking a pipe for over 40 years, To me, and only my opinion, this is crap.

Bright Virginia Ribbon

walking into one of our curing barns - specifically like a Long brand bulk barn, and its symphony of scents including dust, cardboard, dried grass and wood that’s been baked by curing cycles for 20 years.
It’s a comforting smell. On aroma alone, this was beautiful.
Being a blending tobacco it is to a degree pretty singular, but that’s not to say without depth. It’s sweet , but it doesn’t also have the tang I love with leaf taken higher up the stalk. To be honest it is kinda boring to me - I love Virginias - but more so reds , orange - but lemon and bright leaf have a place and this sample was quality leaf. Good on the farmer for the cultivation and curing.
It’s a good reference smoke and I do think everyone should at some point buy small samples of blending materials to sample independently to get a taste and feel for them.
It’s Virginia - it’s got high sugar and can get hot. For a rapid smoker like me this is where I have to mentally remind myself of pace and cadence.
I do t get the hay, but there is a vegetal quality to it. I just wish it had a little more pizzazz or “oomph”.
This is a blend that suffers on my rating because I don’t see a need to bulk purchase and cellar it. While I have played with making my own blends, I order the components as needed, usually in quantity to a ratio I’ve already call, thus no extra left over nor need to age indefinitely.
As a blend in its face , I’d give it a 4.
In the spirit of this project:
my modified rating : 2- meh. It’s good and quality but I won’t mind never having it again, but I’ll smoke what I got andnirder only when I meed some
This is the 39th of 101 C&D Bulk lends to be reviewed for this project....Read More
