Overall, I didn't know what to expect out of this tobacco. The note on my first smell reminded me of Briar Fox. The tobacco was at the perfect moisture level straight out of the bag. It packed well and burned most of the way through with some tamping and only one relight. The Virginia is forward in this tobacco and has a very sweet earthy taste. I enjoyed it from the start to the finish and will most likely keep this around. I didn't catch a topper or casing, but I was paying attention to the delightful tobacco flavors over anything. If you like a good sweet Virginia with some earthy flavors intertwined give this one a whirl. Stay blessed and enjoy the smoke....Read More

Almost 100% certain this is just rebadged C&D Winchester at a better price point. Tastes exactly the same to me.
Your new budget all day blend!

C&D Winchester is my absolute favorite bulk blend (my review refers to it as a modern codger blend). Crimson Shadow is a very good competitor, and I was pleasantly surprised. While Winchester has a Burley Cavendish, which provides a drier nutty sweetness with the Virginias, the standard Cavendish in Crimson Shadow provides the classic sweet brown sugar notes with the fruity dark Virginias. Very, very tasty and pound-purchase worthy on its own or might play amazingly well in a home blend with a dash of Dark Fired. Don't hesitate, just get it. Half star deducted simply due to the lack of flavor complexity....Read More

I purchased these four, 4oz, samples of the RTW blends: Crimson Shadow__Sunrise Select__Oak & Ember__Mystic Moor. This one is the third blend I tried...and well, it's OK. I tried Sunrise Select first, Oak & Ember second, Crimson Shadow, and Mystic Moor lastly. All of these I tried are just so-so. They are pure 'T' but they are mild and, well, a bit bland/fresh. Perfect for an all day smoker, maybe, or for blending something in to add some flavor/taste. I just removed Sunrise Select from the oven; after 2.5 hrs @ 190°F. I'll give it a couple of weeks in its jar before going a round two with it. If it improves. I'll likely stove this and the others as well. And then *Update* my reviews of these four RTW samples. My 3★ rating, for me...so you know, is what I rate blends when they leave me on the fence; where the 2★-side is "not likely going to buy again" and the 4★-side is "likely going to keep around."...Read More
