Notes:
Just to warn you up front, this review is not going to be that great.
It is 2:30 in the morning, and I’m not feeling that detail-oriented.
Although I don’t have a lot of nuanced input, I had a revelation during this smoke. This smoke hit me over the head with the Virginia “hay.” So much so that I said, out loud, “Oh, THAT’S the hay they’re talking about!” I was brought back to my early childhood. My grandfather had a farm, and once my brain found the hay in the tobacco, I went right back to his farm. He even burned off the stubble in the field while I was there. Uncanny how similar it is in my mind right now.
Once I recovered from the hay epiphany, I also noted something that smelled like pecan shells, both fresh and burned.
I was very happy with this experience, and look forward to delving more into this tobacco.
