Virginia Pride

Virginia Pride, despite its name, is a Milan Tobacconists blend that contains no Virginia leaf; the maker notes the name instead points to the brand's roots in the state of Virginia. According to its profile, the blend is built from black cavendish and lightly pressed burley leaves, carrying a sweet, nutty character in the direction of vanilla. Its light-to-medium body gives a soft smoke.

Suitable for those looking not for the Virginia character the name suggests, but for a soft cavendish-burley-based aromatic. The pressed burley share leaves a dry, filling base beneath the sugared casing.
