Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
I liked it on the first puff. Mild but satisfying smoke, natural taste.
I really like this blend

Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
I bought a pound of this for blending, but it's good enough to smoke as it is. I will be ordering more very soon.
My go-to blend
May 12, 2019
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
This is a bold and satisfying Virginia blend. Contrary to previous comments, I enjoy it young and it quickly became one of my favourites.
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
Hey, this is amazing mellow pipe smoking goodness!
The measurements of Virginia and Turkish are perfect in every way.
Flavors of real butter on sour dough toast, and an aftertaste/ aroma that stays on your taste buds and fingers that’s sooo good. ... Read More
I would gladly ride a CAMEL, from Chesterfield to get this old gold.
This is the only blend of tobacco I’ve ordered back to back 1 lbs. bags. Read Less
Nice Smoke
September 04, 2019
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
I've been wanting to try this Low Country tobacco for a good while now. Now, is it great? Almost, but I tell you this, it's good enough and for the price, it's a good smoke. I put this in the MM, was tempted to mix some Latakia in it, but wanted to t... Read More
ry it straight first. Good Virginia flavor, sweetness from the Turkish, very pleasant on it's own. This would make a fine base for mixing.
Very good smoke and for the price, It's a winner. Read Less
Subtle & Sweet, nice caramel aftertaste
May 12, 2023
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
A subtle sweet Virginia blend, with just a hint of spice from the Oriental. After 12 months of aging the flavor improved, thus making a perfect simple, smoke for the spring and summer seasons. The aftertaste is lovely and for the price point, don’t... Read More

价格便宜 层次丰富 但需要陈化
November 17, 2022
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
无意间入了2oz，新草咬舌，过鼻有些辛辣刺激，新草的涩感。味道还算正，中后段变化明显，焦香不断，酸感强于甜感，口感稳。价格便宜，但需要陈化继续发酵。我把这款列为储备口粮的选项之一。
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
两款low country 的草都不错。这款甜味明显，中段有些类似于万宝路的香味，容易上手，燃烧很好。
Easy Smoke!

For the price, this stuff is really excellent. Simple smoker that you don't have to think about.
low country
June 08, 2019
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
For the price, this is not so bad. I gave it 3 stars because the tobacco is cut like cigarette tobacco and burns HOT!! It does not bite or make my wife run for cover! I guess I am neutral about it. I had about 1/2 oz. of Bayou Night that I added to 2... Read More

I got 8oz of this tobacco about one year ago. Smoked about half a bowl and dumped it out because it was awful. Today I was going though my jars and found the Natural Virginia and Oriental and it was marked 6/7/2017 so I decided to give it another try... Read More

Really great VAO

陈化一年后让我感觉很舒适
November 08, 2023
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
转眼陈化一年了，满口香甜。前段就是甜，蔗糖口味的甜，中段开始焦香阵阵袭来，直到尾段延绵不绝。这款草价格便宜，但是容易干，如果能保持好湿度放个三五年，一定会不断有惊喜。
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
感觉比那款纯弗吉尼亚味道来的更丰富一些，手里最早的一批v＋o已经放在梅森瓶里6个月了，闻起来比刚到手时有更明显的酸橘味，准备再放几个月开始抽。这款草可以适当买一点作为与其他烟草混合的原料。
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
前段就是简单直接的v草甜味，几乎抽不出与另一款纯v有什么区别，中段开始O草给烟气带来一定的提升，比纯v更富于变化更耐抽

Very natural flavor. Smooth like coffee with cream.
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
I bought this because I really enjoy Va/Oriental blends. I was surprised how good it is. If I was to factor in cost in the review, it would be a solid “5” recommendation from me. Definitely worth keeping around. Burns well, tastes great, highly e... Read More

Pleasant Smoke.
November 03, 2017
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
I find this to be a pleasant, even mild smoke if not packed too tightly. Packing it tightly will increase it's strength. If you don't want sweet sugary smoke, this is for you. It has it's own mild sweetness. The oriental gives a dimension of robustne... Read More
ss. The Virginia gives it a grassy and the sweetness. Not being a professional taste tester, I can only say I like it. It has the body and satisfying flavor that I find pleasing. For the price,maybe I should smoke it even more. Read Less

Low Country Bulks are like a C&D Cheat Code
July 09, 2024
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
Let me say from the start that, while some of my favorite blends are from C&D (Dreams of Kadath, Haunted Bookshop), I have been burned by their virginias enough times that I sort of made a rule for myself that I wasn't going to try any of their prima... Read More
rily virginia-based blends (for anyone who might not know, and someone correct me if i'm wrong here—Low Country pipe tobaccos are made by Cornell & Diehl. Low Country, Smokingpipes.com, Laudisi, and C&D are, for all intents and purposes, the same thing). Previous C&D virginias for me have lacked all sweetness, tasted harsh and young, and often so rough on my throat I could hardly smoke a bowl.
However, I love me some orientals, and I love C&D's orientals, and they are really one of the few producer/manufacturers that really pay much attention at all to oriental-lovers. So it was with a high degree of skepticism and a tiny bit of hope that I ordered an ounce of this one to try—and I figured at less than 2 bucks it wouldn't be a big deal if it was another C&D virginia bust
Uniform ribbon cut, quite dry, but not crispy or over-dried. A pleasing medium reddish-brown I'm guessing are the Red Vas, with some lighter browns that might be the orientals, or some of it bright leaf if there is any (it does not mention bright leaf in the description, even though Low Country Natural Virginia, sans ori, is said to contain it). Pleasant sour, malty, tangy fragrance in the jar. Good signs, but then again, I have been fooled before.
because of the dryness of the ribbon, I packed it tighter than I normally do. Almost too tight, but it didn't turn out to be too much of a problem, just had to be careful about tamping as I smoked it.
Incense, butter, woody comes through from prevalent Orientals—good news. And while I don't taste the virginias much, that's not a bad thing. Virginia is there, but SO mild. More of a spine to the blend that supports the orientals—a spine that holds everything up and that you don't notice because it isn't hurting you, is really what a good spine should do (I was in physical therapy most of last year for back problems so I know).
If I had got this primarily for the Virginia flavor I think I would be disappointed. But with my expectation for C&D virginia being what it is, these virginias, being even quietly sweet and only a small bit of mild rough edges, are such an improvement from my usual experience that I'm delighted. And the point, of course, was the orientals, which come through well.
The description says that it's mostly Red Vas with a bit of Orientals. As others have commented in the reviews, the taste almost seems flipped from that description. But I believe that is because we're dealing with C&D red virginia… I'm not going to keep bashing that dead horse, my feelings on that are clear enough at this point.
Creamy, rich white smoke. Excellent in that regard. I like seeing and feeling and smelling big clouds of smoke around me. The blend can smoke very hot, though. My pipe got pretty uncomfortable to touch a few times and I had to slow down and let it rest a bit. I do not think it translated so much into the flavor, though perhaps the cause of some of its rough edges (again, remarkably mild compared to my past C&D rodeos).
Medium-low to medium nicotine. More than I expected, in fact.
The bottom line: I liked it. I might buy more, seeing as there aren't a whole lot of inexpensive and easy to find oriental blends out there without latakia. Then again, I have a pretty good VaPerOr home blend made with C&D izmir and sutliff everything else. The flavor of my home blend is more rich, but it's more expensive. But with the Low Country blend, we're talking about a really great value bulk blend here—I repeat, this is less than 2 dollars an ounce! Of course my home blend is more expensive than that, even if it's also pretty dang cheap.
If you, like me, want to try a cheap Va/Ori blend but are suspicious of C&D virginias, give this one a shot. It might surprise you.
If you are already a fan of C&D and have no qualms with their other virginia-based blends, then these cheap Low Country bulks are like a C&D cheat code
Based on this experience I am interested in trying more, even might pay more than the bulk prices to try their tinned VaPerOr offering, Atalaya Read Less

good as it is. i mix it with a little latakia and voila!
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
唯一的优点就是便宜了。生草没啥味道，点燃后同样没有啥特别的味道。刚点燃时烟熏味较重，口感苦、涩，中段以后有一点微微的甜。裁切的很粗糙，不好点燃，最好是揉的稍微碎一点。

Good cost performance VaOri

Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
The subtle sweetness of the Virginias and the exoticness of the Orientals mix well together. Its simplicity makes it easy to try when you want to take it easy on your taste buds. Best of all, the great thing is its price.
GOOD ENOUGH!

First, let me say, I am not a Virginia smoker - I prefer English. I do enjoy the occasional Virginia though, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Frankly, I bought it because it was cheap. I was braced for an equally cheap smoke. Boy, was I surprised. ... Read More

Ok, I wrote a review about this earlier. Didn't give it good marks. Boy was I wrong. This Tobbaco is great when aged, and only sipped. If you push it it will burn lol. After aging/sipping it tastes like a true Oriental. Sour, and a hint of spice. The... Read More

Nasty stuff if you smoke it young
June 03, 2017
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
It's the worst tobacco I've smoked up until now. It's harsh, tastes really bad and leaves such an awful aftertaste that I truly believe that this thing is meant to RYO and not for pipes. I recommend to stay a mile away from this stuff unless you want... Read More
to roll your own cigarettes, but don't expect too much.
**Update** After leaving it in my tobacco press for 3-4 days (attempt to salvage it) , it tastes much more better and has lost a lot of the acrid/chemical after taste that it left before. I would suggest to either press it in a press during at least a week or let it age for at least 6 months - 1 year before smoking it. Read Less
Product: Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental Bulk
LOW price. But no COUNTRY for old men. I found this quite harsh when pushed. There is a mild hint of Turkish, with some spice. Not one I'd purchase again.
