Smoking it now and I expected sweetness off the chart but really it is just a mellow smoke. Slightly sweet but not overly so. There is a hint of plum. Similar to the 1970s tin of MacBaren Plum Cake which the topping totally flushed off. ...

Normally I use Bright Virginia but variety is the spice of life. ...

Pulled 1lb of Red Virginia and it was some pretty leaves in this batch.

Plugs that stoved in a hot truck for 5 days was like trying to flake a 2 x 4. Ended up with a case of 16oz wide mouth Mason jars full of flakes. All the images below are straight Virginia’s except the last 2 images. Those are either Angel of Izmir or Basma Bastard. ...
