1855 is a straightforward Virginia that’s easy to appreciate. A tin aged for one year had a mild sweetness with grassy notes, while my three-year-old tin was noticeably sweeter, even in a new pipe! It features a thicker ribbon cut that burns easily and only bites if smoked too quickly.

This is an extremely pleasant and good blend of Virginias. It smells and burns good. It is mild and doesn't give you any tongue bite. Will buy more.
