Virginia Gentleman

Virginia Gentleman is a ribbon-cut blend combining Virginia leaf with Burley, topped with a small amount of Turkish (Oriental) leaf. Per the maker's description, the aim is to offer a softer option to smokers who love Virginia blends but feel tongue bite over an all-day smoke. The pouch note carries raisin, oat, grass, and sweet-bread notes.

On the smoke, Virginia carries the weight; toward the end Burley builds an earthy, nutty base, while the Oriental leaf gives occasional spicy sharpness. No casing is used. Suited to smokers looking for a Virginia that's not one-dimensional but not tiring either, smokable all day.
