d it several times using a MM Missouri Pride.
Disclaimer: I have had this blend before. I ordered a tin several years ago.
The question from this blend for me is should it be called a Virginia or should it be called an aromatic? There is no wrong answer here , I think. It’s a beautifully balanced between sweet and spice with the virginias and Perique and orientals all taking the stage in smooth transition with one another.
Oriental spice seems greater than a signature Perique spice - but that’s good, too. Orientals and Virginias in the right blends ratios set me alight like a bonfire. Here I almost - almost- get there , but fall just short of falling in love. It’s the sweetness.
“Make your mind up!” I can hear some say. “Either it’s greatly balanced or it’s too sweet!” I hear you say. And both are right.
I think the hang up for me is when I see a formula that is “whisky plus (insert booze)” my brain always goes to a navy flake or rum flake place. This does have the boozy influence- and it def delivers in the Virginia - but it’s more PawPaw’s aromatic than reminiscent of a Navy Blend IMO.
Don’t push it - it will get hot and punish you. Smoke is thin and lacey, but snow white.
Is it life changing? Not for me , no.
Is it a solid middle of the road option? For sure.
My rating : 3- this is good - I’d buy it on sale Or to get free shipping in an order

sed with this blend.
UPDATE: Just an update now that I've blown through the 1 oz. sampler and am about to order 4 oz. more, confirming my initial impression. This is an excellent balance between an aromatic and traditional blend, IMHO. Those more sensitive to aromatics may have a different experience....Read More

Artificial taste, and will ghost even a meerschaum! Be very careful not to use the virginia pipe otherwise it will keep haunting you for bowls to come.
