Buttered Rum

Virginia Gold Buttered Rum (Butter Rum in some sources) is a budget-class aromatic blend of Virginia, Burley and Cavendish leaf. It is ribbon cut and sold in large bulk bags. Records indicate the brand was originally found on chain-store shelves before moving to specialty retailers.

The smoke carries a soft, buttery sweetness toward rum and vanilla. Nicotine is low and flavor is low-to-medium, making the blend suited to long, all-day smoking. Aimed at smokers after a simple, inexpensive aromatic without expecting a heavy tobacco body.
