[QUOTE="JensDK, post: 523316, member: 4271"] In my experience there will always be a slight tongue bite / irritation of throat to Virginias - the gentlier you smoke it, the less. Nicotine-wise Virginia is one of the more aggressive tobaccos, and low-priced virginias are mostly the worst, simply because the leaves are very young. Ageing darkens and softens them. Orlik has a little bite, but it's manageable, IMO. It is much softer when stuffed lightly as flakes, probably because of the slower burn. Mac Baren is priced at the lower end, at I find most of their tobaccos bite a lot. When Burley or Perique are added it's even worse (I hate both). If you want to explore really good Virginias, I would recommend trying some of the high-end ready-rubbed from Rattray's, McConnell's or Fribourg & Treyer, for instance. [/QUOTE]
