Bright Virginia Ribbon

Bright Virginia Ribbon is a single-varietal component tobacco: high-quality golden Virginia leaf from North Carolina's "Old Belt" region, cut as ribbon. The leaf's natural sugar content is high, its oil content relatively low; this gives a pronounced sweetness accompanied by a light citrus accent.

It is both a Virginia that can be smoked on its own and a leaf that can be used as a base or sweetening component in home blends, commonly paired with burley in particular. It suits smokers wanting to get to know unflavored, straight Virginia taste and those building their own blends. As with high-sugar bright leaves generally, it needs to be smoked slowly and cool.
