John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia Sale


Have you avoided Virginias because they tend to be sharp? Those days are over with John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia.

A blend of sweet Virginias is first pressed and then sliced into a flake. It's then tumbled into a ribbon, allowed to breathe and put back into the mold to be pressed again into a crumble cake. This darkens the leaf, gives it a deeper, richer flavor, and takes much of the "edge" off the blend. Finally, there's a Virginia tobacco that just about anyone can enjoy - John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia.

John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia was the winner of the 2019 Chicago Bowl.

Start of the day
This blend is mild for me. It pairs well with a nice hot cup of coffee first thing on a lazy Sunday Morning. It's not a biter. Nice light Virginia notes . A great way to ease into Virginia's or a quiet Sunday morning.

Good product
Very nice tobacco, that didn't knock my socks off. I'm a big Virginia guy so I felt like I had to try it. I'm more inclined to a traditional Virginia flake, so while I enjoyed it, and am glad I tried it, one tin was enough for me.

Oh! Oh okay!!!
I am impressed. It’s Virginia, yes. But it’s more. More complex. More something….deep. A depth I can’t quite describe. It tastes like a Virginia yet the beginning ‘smells’ of a fine cigar, and finishes with a Virginia/Fine Cigar scent. Unlike any Virginia blend I’ve put to pipe and mouth. Savory.

Very Nice Virginia
(cotton's double virginia 1.75oz tin). Very nice virginia. Probably the freshest pipe tobacco I have ever had. Mild to moderate taste with virtually no bite. Nicotine level appears to be low. First few puffs are very mild. I believe Sutliff Tobacco in Richmond packages this, and my careful research shows Sutliff is owned by Mac Baren (review penned in Feb 2023). This tobacco (cotton's double VA) is milder than Mac Barens Virginia #1 (which is outstanding with some bite and its a little stronger). This cotton's VA holds a light excellently once lit and I've had many tinned brands that do not stay lit well & I certainly know the importance of bowl packing. Very smooth and very easy to smoke the Cotton's double VA.

Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia
I usually a lat. blend pipe smoker, but I really like the JCotton double pressed series without exception. Very rich and strong-- both the virginia and the latakia double pressed.

Virginia conversion
I generally have not liked all that much the Virginia only smokes, hey, this one is a real keeper for a warm smooth change from the lats that I typically go for. John Cotton mixtures, for me, are almost always winners.

Good purchase
Well worth the few extra dollars spent for a very enjoyable and flavorful smoke. Just for kicks, I sometimes add a pinch of blending perique to a bowlful. A slower puffing cadence contributes greatly to the enjoyment.

if you want a light smoke this is for you.
This smokes very light. It is very mellow taste and doesn't have a bite but I prefer cornell & diehl star of the east flake out of some of the pipe tobacco I've smoked.

Nice Blend
Good red Virginia tang, but with the perfect balance of bright.

Best Virginia smoke yet
I love va tobacco I think this is one of the best tobacco’s for a good evening smoke but you have to smoke it slow to get the full flavor and even burn without bite it is my new go to tobacco I love it and I will be ordering more you can’t go wrong

Virginia
Love the John Cotton pressed tobacco. Can be bitey on the tounge but smoking slow is key to reduce that effect and enjoy it's full flavor. The room note is pleasant and mild. It is a pleasant smoke once one slows down enough to appreciate its many qualities.

John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia
I am a true over of aromatics, which this one isn't. I do like the occasional straight blend as just a change. It is a good, natural non aromatic and is very enjoyable. I continue to enjoy it for as a break. Non aromatic lovers will go crazy for it, imo.

A great smoke.
Do yourself a favor and give this one a try. You wont regret it. I smoke predominantly Virginia tobacco and this will be going into my regular rotation. Will be buying more.

Awesome blend!
Hands down the best Virginia I have smoked. All the negative aspects of a virginia blend are gone. Doesnt get sour or acidic and burns cool. Absolutely love it!

There's a reason why John Cotton has been around for so long. This Double Pressed Virginia is another reason. It fits nicely into my rotation.

Burns very cool. Has a nice mellowness and no bite, This blend will get better with age.

Mellow medium strength Virginia
I usually smoke a Virginia in a meerschaum, so bear that in mind. This a nice mellow medium strength smoke that has just a little bite but not much. Has a nice "back" to it and not terrifically high on the nicotine index--although, there's more here than any latakia based blend for sure
