To me this a a perfect blend. With BBF2, GH&Co must be using their finest leaf. Only the natural flavors of burley and VA enhanced with a mild topping that only complements the natural tobacco taste. Nutty, with a dried fruit sweetness, hints of golden molasses or treacle come to mind. The flake is dark with specks crystals that sparkle when the light hits it just right. BBF2 is guaranteed to age well. If you love burley, you will like this blend. If you never got into burley VA blends, this may be your gateway blend. Solani aged burley flake is in the same wheel house if you are familiar with that. If I found a treasure chest loaded with gold, rubies, diamonds, and BBF2 was in there as well, It would not be out of place, nor would I wonder why it was there.

Best Virginia Blend There Is

This is my favorite VA blend. Been smoking it for years now. Super complex and flavorful with absolutely zero bite. Gets better as you smoke it. Surprisingly good at first light and has you looking forward to that last third of the bowl. I love English blends and deep flavors, and this is the only VA blend that I've found to fill the void and that doesn't kill your tongue....Read More

I cube cut the flake and gave it a light rub and oh my this is good. 30 min dry time while I pressed some coffee and this has become a good morning.

I see a lot of vinegar and sour but I get only maybe a little sourdough. I get sweet earthy bready and mild. No Lakeland at all. Not a whole lot of bite if you take it easy and the driest Gawith blend I’ve ever had(which means only about 30minutes of dry time)I imagine with a few years on this it will be really wonderful. The more I have of this the more I like it quickly becoming a favorite.UPDATE this has now made the daily rotation cellaring as many tins as possible....Read More

Package note of stewed fruit, raisin and vinegar. Tobacco flakes are a marbled brown and fairly dense, will require some prep either cubing or rubbing out. Tobacco is moist and may need some drying. Burns is slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is very mild and inconsistent, with notes of slightly sweet and even slighter Lakeland. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of wood, earth, tart citrus and tart dark fruit, grassy floral and a little spicy on the retro. Virginia is leading with burley supporting and the flavoring hiding in the background. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great too....Read More
