Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Dark Virginia Cavendish Unscented

This product, referred to by the abbreviation DVC, is produced by darkening light hot-air-cured Virginia leaf through extended processing under ample steam. The process largely removes the leaf's sharper elements and leaves a velvety, cool-burning tobacco. This is the unflavored version; the taste comes entirely from the processed leaf itself. On the smoke, a very measured Virginia character comes through: lightly bright, lightly citrusy, lightly herbal, and lightly sweet. Nicotine is low.
