Virginia Memory #10

Virginia Memory #10 is Hearth & Home's attempt to reinterpret the long-discontinued Sobranie Virginian #10 blend. Fragrant Orientals are added to mild, sweet Virginia leaves, rounded out with cigar leaf that gives the mixture a creamy texture. The presence of cigar leaf sets the blend apart from a straight Virginia mixture, giving it a rounder, lightly baked base.

Being an unflavored blend, the taste comes entirely from the leaf itself; the sweetness of natural sugar, the Oriental's dry spice, and the cigar leaf's earthy softness proceed together. It lights easily and stays at a medium nicotine level. It's aimed at those wanting to get acquainted with classic Sobranie-style Virginia mixtures and those interested in blends carrying cigar leaf.
