Virginia Woods (Craftsbury Series)

Virginia Woods is a Virginia-based, lightly flavored ribbon-cut blend McClelland released under its Craftsbury Series. The topping level stays light enough not to mask the tobacco; the brand's natural tangy-sweet character and the mature taste of dark, cured Virginias remain in front, leaving a fruity sweetness on the tongue.

Burns dry and even; once relit after the first light, it needs no further attention through to the bottom of the bowl. Its cool, slow burn suits long smokes, though nicotine stays light and a tin empties quickly. Suited to those wanting a lightly aromatic blend that stays close to the natural taste, smokable all day. Discontinued with McClelland's closure.
