First let me risk sounding cliche by saying thank you to watch city cigar for having this blend! This a blend in which i have been chasing since my pipe journey started! Now this blend it upon opening the tin i get hit with that smell that all euro virginia blends have (when I smell them) its almost a faint ketchup smell but after a few moments of breathing it gives way to a just wonderful symphony smells from grass to hay and boy its sweet upon first light! Now as you move down the bowl expect those bright citrus notes to give way to a more balanced earthy sweet blend with a dash of dark fruits and black pepper from the perique but the perique is not offensive or hot on the tongue but instead really ties this blend together and balances the virginia this blend and to me was well well worth the chase and wait. i recommend chasing this blend if you have not tried any but be warned it may take years to get if you cannot be diligent with keeping up with Drops and hustle to grab it! Because goes really fast. So in my conclusion of this blend its good and its worth pursuing but its not my definitive virginia blend but thats a story for another review so cheers and happy piping!
