There's a very delicate touch of pear to the aroma but nothing too suggestive. It burns nicely, from start to finish, giving a smoke which only bites when put under strain. Just great stuff. The Virginias offer plenty of tart and tangy citrus, grass/hay, sour lemon, bread, sugar, vegetation, floralness, light dark fruit, earth, wood, a couple pinches of spice, and a touch of acidity....Read More
This tobacco has a very subtle taste

Having bought this tin, I did not expect anything special and immediately put it off for aging. After lying on the aging for two years and nine months, I discovered this tin.
This tobacco has a very subtle taste. I would even say elegant, and aftertaste is great.
I think true connoisseurs of pure Virginia will like this tobacco. I will rate it highly....Read More

Tin note of grass, spices and sugar. Tobacco is a flake of yellowish tan, light brown and brown. Moisture content is great. Rubs out with a little effort. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of Pear. The flavoring starts and remains in the background. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of tart and tangy citrus, mild pear, spices, floral, peaty vegetation, wood, bread, earth, sugar, fermented sour fruit, savory, bitter orange peel, sweet hay, acidic, a semi-sweet lemon grass background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Beautiful and sweet. I can’t detect pear exactly but there’s a noticeable hint of something going on. I love this. Buying more

I have been on a flake kick recently. Of the half dozen or so selections I've enjoyed this far... This holds the #1 spot in my book. First tin came in the mail with a yr of age on it. I don't imagine the next 5 tins will manage to age another full year. It's a go-to countertop, back pocket tin....Read More

Reading it's provided description of a pear flavoring I stayed away from this for a while. Don't like pears. But it is not a strong flavoring at all. Far from aromatic. Tastes like a red Virginia, sweet but not the citrus type of Virginia. It's taken nearly the wholen tin to apreciate the very subtle topping. It's not a forward flavoring but an afterwards, lingering on your pallet. You taste it after and try and place your finger on it. It's very nice, mine came a bit dry the flakes were super fragile and getting one out whole was hard and it burnt no issue. This will likely age wonderfully, in a jar....Read More

I always make sure I have a tin of 2012 in the cabinet. I don't know why but I love this blend. I never get tired of it. It's my favorite. I really like everything I've had from 4th Generation. I've never been disappointed by their products.

The tin note is grass and wheat with a detectable fruity top note. Upon smoking I was expecting more of a bright leaf Virginia taste but was instead met with a bready, dark fruit note that I normally get from reds. There is an almost (bran) cereal like quality to the taste. The top note is only detected slightly in the aftertaste and I would guess it is what is adding the extra sweetness......which is welcomed. It seems to have elements of the best Virginias between bright leaf, reds and everywhere in between. Very enjoyable and I would guess that this will age beautifully....Read More
