507C Virginia Slices

Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices is a flake-cut bulk blend pressed and sliced from flue-cured Virginia leaf. Per the maker's description, a soft aromatic coating is placed over the leaf; this topping doesn't push the blend into the aromatic category but adds a thin scent-and-flavor layer alongside the Virginia character.

The blend stays within the pure Virginia category while following a more accessible line than fully unflavored flakes. The slices need to be rubbed out or folded before packing; suited to those wanting to sample Virginia's tangy-sweet structure at bulk pricing and to those wanting to get accustomed to flake use.
