This is a great blend good cut, right moisture, great flavor but….. to me it’s bitey unfortunately too much to enjoy.
absolutely soft the tobacco

Well, what can I say, first of all, I note how absolutely soft the tobacco is, perhaps due to the 2.5 years of aging.
Humidity almost tobacco is ready to smoke, maybe hold a little before driving into the bowl.
The taste is true pure Virginia with its natural sweetness. There is no aftertaste....Read More
Interesting Virginia blend

The smoke is very smooth, and pleasant but not so different to other flavors from Virginias. However, it is very interesting after some burns. It has some natural sweetness together with grass and citrus aromas. I recommend it for sure, however, it is mild and perhaps no so complex.
Broken Scotch Doesn't Need Mending

I'm one of the Virginia smokers who really enjoys the slow, mild sweetness of naturalVirginias. I could smoke this all day if it weren't for the flue-cured Virginia aspect of this Virginia tobacco. I do like the combination of the sun-cured Virginia with the flue-cured. It works better for me, however, when I blend it with 1 part burley and 2 parts black Cavendish with 5 parts of the broken Scotch flake. This makes it an all afternoon smoke for me. I love the mildness of the Virginia this way. I subtracted .5 from a perfect 5 because of the allergy-arousing itch of the intense flue-dried VA. I really love the natural sweetness of the sun-cured Virginia. I had no bite from the tobacco and no need to dry it before smoking. A great smoke for those who love the straight Virginias....Read More

I have noticed, both here and on tobacco reviews.com, that there is a small group of people who have been unimpressed by this offering by GH. I honestly am shocked that this would be so overlooked as this is one of my personal favorites from GH. I am something of a Virginia fanatic, and any strait Virginia is likely to satisfy me. If you like strait Virginias too I highly recommend....Read More
Best Straight Virginia Ive Had

As far as straight Virginia blends go I think this is the best out there. Very wet from the tin and will require plenty of drying but what a fabulous smoke. So smooth, yum.

Tasty, Decent Nic Hit and mild enough to smoke all day and night. Blended with some Perique for a more Robust Flavor and Nic Hit. Will be back for more of this blend. Nice aroma and not an overbearing after taste due to the mild strength of tobacco used.
Smoke your cake and eat it too!?

This is a really good smoker. Relaxed and delicious. One of the best Ive ever smoked. Just something that is so inviting about the mildness. Enjoy!

Wonderful. Out of a clay pipe,this tobacco exhibits some of the loveliest mild tobacco flavors. Simply superb. Dry it down all the way.

The texture and color of this blend is very appealing to the eye - like long threads of a spongy bark. The smell is also nice. Sadly, it burns a little too sharp on its own. That said, it does mellows with age. A year in solitary confinement produced a more rounded smoke. Aged or not, Broken Scotch Cake works well as a condiment, adding zest to a dull or overly smoky blend without distorting the taste. As for the room note, it remains the same either way - simply outstanding....Read More
