Here's a new limited edition Presbyterian tobacco - Presbyterian Ordained. This is a flake made of Burley, Virginia, and select Orientals that's treated to a subtle top note that includes a bit of coffee, tart berry, and some vanilla to create a smooth and unified flavor. The blend isn't overly aromatic but has a very interesting flavor. The flake format allows for preparation in a variety of forms so you can use it as a fold-and-stuff flake, rub it out into a ribbon, or crosscut the flakes to make a cube cut. This blend won't be around very long, so get it while you can.
Extremely good straight VA with a super lite topping five star blend will get better with age as well

This is a very good blend. Just the right amount of the three tobaccos in this blend. Enjoyed the bowl from beginning to end.

Worth buying a couple tins

This just a nice VA blend. You can definitely smell the VA when you open the tin, and like the previous Reformation the taste is actually much milder. I was expecting more of straight BA / Orlick GS knockoff but the burley and orientals add a nice mix to dial back the VA and has a much more complex flavor profile. I didn’t really taste much flavoring, just a hint in maybe the first 1/3 to half. The berry seems to come back more towards the end, but just a hint. Folds and stuffs nicely with little to no excess to rip off in my MM Country Gent. I am still kicking myself for not buying a couple more tins of Reformation, so I’m definitely going to try grab a couple more of these to cellar for a bit! I have feeling I will miss it when I can’t get it anymore.
