With the right companion components, PS701 is excellent. Three years ago I didn't like it much all by itself. I didn't even like it very much as a blending component, but recently I have been blending it with a bit of Stokkebye Black Latakia and some C2 Basma, and it's amazing. These three leafs do something quite magical in my blending bowl. If you've tried it before and didn't like it, pair it with something different, keep experimenting and you'll find something it really complements. My stock is three years old and excellent, but will soon be gone, so I've ordered another couple pounds. Very exciting stuff....Read More

Simply put its a straight Virgina with the typical Virginia notes.
It smokes great as it is and yet it works great as a mixer.
For Blending it is one of the best.

With all the Virginias out there to order, I can't imagine giving this one any higher rating than middling. It's not bad, but it's nothing special either.

Nice everyday Virginia that burns evenly with a good aftertaste. I really love the color and the aroma, too.

Many good times come from this blend, which being sugar-heavy bright and brown Virginias, demands extremely slow and regular smoking. Your technique is going to test you, but if you can like this, it tastes like toasted barley bread with wildflower honey, not a huge flavor but a pleasant background and aftertaste. I have no problem smoking this straight and prefer it to many more complex blends, especially when in the outdoors....Read More

As a blending component it does just fine. A nice hay-and-grass Virginia without much of a tin note at all, but by itself it falls flat and leaves much to be desired. I use it in my blends but only as one of several components.

Has the wonderful fresh smell of fresh cut hay. Wonderful hay like taste! A nice mild Virginia tobacco. Moisture content was low and burned evenly. Will definitely order more!

It's a good sweet virginia tobacco especially good in the heat of the summer. Also, I like to add a little burley to it once in a while to change it up. At the first charring light, I get that sweet hay & honey flavor. It's a nice dry smoke and the price is decent.
