Gold Slice

Gold Slice is a blend built solely from light-colored Virginia leaves, pressed and then cut into flake. It belongs to the plain-Virginia wing of the Wessex series and carries no flavoring casing.

Since light Virginia's natural sugars concentrate during pressing, the smoke rests on hay, dry grass, and a lemony sweetness. It stays smooth when smoked slowly, though it can produce sharpness on the tongue if rushed. It suits smokers accustomed to rubbing out flakes before packing who want to trace unflavored Virginia taste.
