Had two bowls of Virginia tobacco. Virginia Gold, Black & Gold from @Bruck , and a bowl of Virginia Blend from Ted's Pipe Shop which is Tulsa's oldest pipe shop. Virginia tobacco seems to have a sweet taste going on best I can tell with my rookie opinion.....
Yes, Virginias tend to be sweet and have hints of grass/hay. The Black & Gold is a VA/Cavendish blend, with some light added sweet flavoring.Quote:

I'll pick some up next time I go there...thanks.Quote:

Just lit a bowl of SPC Mississippi River in the Vauen. Wish I'd bought less of this; it tastes like it was blended by committee...
This evening I am having a bowl of Dan's Hamborger Veermaster in my extra large Rossi freehand.:piper: I was digging thru my stash and came across this tobacco and I knew that it was exactly what I was looking for; I had not smoked this tobacco in more than 6 months. I first became acquainted with this tobacco several years ago when Mark (Mooster) was smoking this tobacco day after day for a long time.:banghead: This was during my Puff Forum days. Since my early days of coming back to the pipe I have been following Mark because his tastes in tobacco was so similar to mine.:wave: Mark had driven me crazy smoking this tobacco day after day after day. Unfortunately I was not able to procure this tobacco for more than 6 months; it was simply not available.:bawling: This tobacco has a very distinct flavor profile that I like and since those early days I have never been without it. Needless to say this evenings smoke is delicious. I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" brew while listening to Xmas music.:beerchug:
Finishing off the night with something called Fall Classic from Ted's Pipe Shop....
Esoterica And So to Bed in a mini meer.
I gave some Penzance to a BOTL co-worker, who loved it but was at the same time pizzed bcs I have scored some a couple times and he never is able to :) Anyway, he says And So to Bed is the same thing, and gave me some to try. It ain't :) It's not too bad, though. I'd say it's a lighter, fruitier version of Penzance, with less of a Lat hit. So I guess that makes it an entirely different animal.
