Rattray's Black Virginia is a straightforward European-style black Cavendish, which, unlike the American black Cavendishes, is made of Virginia tobaccos. This is a sweet and mellow tobacco that is a pleasant smoke anytime. Care should be taken to sip slowly, as these types of blends can get hot with hard puffing.
A stoved black virginia short cut ribbon with casing. It's fig-fruity and I would say a slight bit cloyingly sweet from additional casing. K&K could really throttle back on it for a better product. It's simple and rather monochromatic as is typical for this genre but I think the other dark stoved variants in flake form are superior i.g. Full Virginia Flake, Dark Star. Perhaps buy this when the better options are out of stock.
Customer Testimonials
This is very much like a dark brown flake with the slightest hint of perique. Probably a medium to heavy room note due to it being a virginia. But flavor wise, I mostly get the virginias, which are smooth, no tongue bite and if your a virginia fan this could almost be an all day smoke due to the light nic hit and not overbearing flavor. A decent blend for sure and im glad i made the purchase. But, very basic in flavor...don't expect much other than a lighter vaper.
