A "must try" for Virginia lovers!
Just tried C&D's Briar Fox for the first time. I was gifted this tin by Peter Heeschen after I bought a few pipes from him. I thought it was just another C&D blend until I read the label for the first time.....it's Peter's personal blend.
Pressed block form, very sweet initial presentation. The flavor progresses and become rich and full. The sweetness remains throughout the entire bowl. The flavor has a unique underlying earthyness to it. What surprised me about this tobacco was the nicotine content, which is very high IMHO. I definitely feel it halfway through the bowl! Anothre thing about this tobacco is the smoothness for a Virginia blend. No bite with this Virginia! IMHO, this is a must try for any Virginia lover! |

Re: A "must try" for Virginia lovers!
When I asked JohnnyFlake what he recommended for me to buy to put away for a year to age, one of the ones he mentioned was C&D's Briar Fox.
 Just ordered a tin this afternoon so I can start aging some pipe tobacco for the future.
