Black Virginia

Black Virginia is a ribbon-cut blend based on Virginia leaf darkened by steam-treatment, in a color that is almost entirely black. The tin shows black and dark brown strands together; its scent isn't sharp but leans tart-sweet.

Both nicotine and body stay on the light side, making it suitable for long, cool smokes. It suits smokers looking for a plain Cavendish sweetness without Latakia or spice, or newcomers to the pipe wanting to steer clear of heavy blends.
