Cornell & Diehl Bright Virginia Ribbon

Bright Virginia Ribbon is a single-varietal component tobacco: high-quality golden Virginia leaf from North Carolina's "Old Belt" region, cut as ribbon. The leaf's natural sugar content is high, its oil content relatively low; this gives a pronounced sweetness accompanied by a light citrus accent. It is both a Virginia that can be smoked on its own and a leaf that can be used as a base or sweetening component in home blends, commonly paired with burley in particular. As with high-sugar bright leaves generally, it needs to be smoked slowly and cool.
