About This Pipe Tobacco
Rattray's 40 Virginia takes two varieties of Burley and Virginias ranging from bright and golden to nut-brown, in a mix of ribbon, broken flake, and cube-cut to produce a sweet "honey and grass" smoke sans any aromatic flavors.

Wonderful Virginia Blend

orce, but are complimented by the drier nuttiness of Burley—but not outshined. This is the two varietals in perfect harmony (as I see it). 40 Virginia is in some ways similar to C&D's Briar Fox, but the source of the leaf seems to be the most significant variable, and the flavor it noticeably different. I love this blend! It can certainly be an "all day" smoke, and is good year-round, although it'll most likely find its way into your rotation during the warmer months of the year. Personally, I enjoy it mostly during springtime, when just a little Burley is nice to have. Additionally, this is a great blend for those who generally avoid plain Virginias in favor of Burley blends; it bridges the gap quite nicely. Although certainly not "Beacon", it is absolutely worth a try for pipers like myself who love straight Virginia blends but like to venture just a little off the beaten path here and there....Read More

An Enduring Classic
April 20, 2021
Product: Rattray's 40 Virginia 100g
it hot if you’re not careful so sip slowly. Burns down to a very clean, fine ash. Put a few tins in your cellar and your future will be brighter. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the strength of body and nicotine is a bit lighter than I would like it to be. But then again, that allows it to be an all day blend....Read More

I have been looking for a really nice, bright and flavourful virginia for a long time and I think this is close to perfection. I really like this one, well worth it and it will definitely be in my rotation from now on when the urge for a clean virginia comes my way.

Perfection

revelation. ‘This is my blend!’. I found it. Perfection. Beautiful notes of sweetness and sugar with a beautiful floral aspect. I have always considered Solani’s Virginia Flake to be the gold standard of Virginia based smokes. This blend manages the clean flavor and refreshing taste while also using burley. This shall become my daily smoke for as long as I can acquire it. It’s remarkable and I can’t see any pipe smoker finding many things to complain about with this blend....Read More

A Familiar Scent

of perfume, for lack of a better term.
The first puff is filled with delicious flavors. Sweetness, a quality Virginia taste, and even a hint of saltiness. The Burley is unobtrusive but present, and adds solid body here which is another huge plus for me. The combination is so we'll executed here that is brings out the best of both worlds, and whatever the casing is it reminds me of a very light, barely noticeable esoterica type.
Very consistent burn all the way down, which in my book is an achievement with the ready rubbed. The flavor is maintained and intensifies slightly near the bottom, where the Burley is most evident but not dominant.
I can't wait to see what this tastes like in a year or two. I'll have to buy a new tin or two to find out because I'll be smoking this one....Read More
