Fat Old Sun

Fat Old Sun is one of the Virginia-forward blends from Ken Byron Ventures, a small-batch producer based in Tennessee. Records indicate bright and dark Virginia leaf are used together; on the tongue, citrus, dry hay, and dark fruit stand out. The cut is ribbon, and the blend is reported to burn cool.

Nicotine is said to run slightly below medium, without pronounced tongue bite. Suited to smokers seeking Virginia's sweet-tart balance in a plain form, away from heavily cased blends. Since the brand works in limited batches, it isn't continuously available.
