[QUOTE="Buster, post: 32801, member: 471"] I've heard people describe straight virginia as being sweet, mild, and strong in nicotine content. Almost too boring to enjoy alone. Having tried both hh mature virginia, and gawith's full virginia flake, I'm finding only the last to be true. The smoke of both seems so strong and acrid, and nose-burning, that it's hard to enjoy, and I don't notice much sweetness at all. I also notice quite a bit of tounge burn. Ive tried them in corncobs to be sure, as well as briars, but I don't notice much difference in the above taste. Is this an issue with my smoking technique, or is it simply a matter of personal taste? Can anyone here relate? I love english blends that have virginia in them, as well as stronger stuff like latakia or perique - these usually seem cool and mild to me (penzance, maltese falcon) .. But virginia alone seems to be murder. [/QUOTE]
