Virginia enthusiasts are among the most particular pipe smokers. The quality of the leaf is the number one consideration, and Ashton Gold Rush tobacco starts off with some of the finest Virginias money can buy. They are expertly prepared for great smoking qualities, and as a finishing touch, there's a very light note of honey and citrus to compliment the fine tobaccos that make up Ashton Gold Rush.
Pleased overall - light note of honey and citrus, fine Virginias as claimed

I was a huge fan of Stanwell Melange (before they changed the blend). If you liked the original Melange than this flavor profile is close (but not quite). The honey and citrus notes do not last for the full life of the can, and as the tobacco becomes dryer the flavor starts to disappear rather than mature. Other than that its a find blend of Virginias worthy of smoking fast enough that you may never notice the flavor profile dull out in the first place.

Pleasant surprise!

Pleasant surprise. The strength and burn are just right. I was skeptical about the lemon and honey coming through. But they really do. It's subtle. But definitely there. I can see this becoming an all-day smoke for me. Ashton never disappoints.

OK...Can Be A Little Harsh

It's an OK blend. Smoke it slow to keep it as mellow as it can be.
Smoke it fast and the harshness will smack you in the face.
