Classic Virginia

Brigade Classic Virginia is a blend combining dark red pressed Virginia leaf with Louisiana Perique. Although only Virginia appears in the name, since it contains Perique it belongs to the Virginia/Perique family. It's offered as broken flake, at a moisture level ready to pack without further rubbing out.

Its taste is rounded rather than sharp or grassy; Perique's spicy, lightly fruity tone layers over Virginia's bready sweetness. Since nicotine stays in the mild-to-medium band, it's considered suitable for all-day smoking. This is a record for those seeking a Virginia blend with Perique used in moderation.
