Peter Stokkebye Amsterdam: The appearance is predominantly reddish brown with some tan pieces in the mix. Mine is the ribbon cut for pipe smoking and it packs and lights easily. The initial flavor is a balance of Virginia and Kentucky, with the Virginia taking the lead somewhat. When puffed vigorously, the Kentucky flavor steps up and overshadows the Virginia. Overall, it is a pretty good balance between the two types of tobaccos. The rest of the bowl is like the first part of the bowl, just good, unadulterated tobacco flavor with a pleasant tang. I smoked it in a Comoy's Guildhall billiard with a healthy cake. The smoke is of medium intensity in terms of body and flavor. There is little depth or complexity; this is a straightforward tobacco lover's dream. The nicotine strength is medium as a pipe tobacco.
