These blends have Virginias as their major components. Virginias tend to be sweeter and lighter in flavor than most other tobaccos. If Burley is the King, then Virginias are the Queen of Tobaccos. Very versatile and offering a huge variety of different flavors and strengths, Virginias are probably the most widely-smoked tobacco blends worldwide. Examples of Virginia blends: Rattray’s Marlin Flake, Rattray’s Old Gowrie, McConnell’s Red Virginia, SG Full Virginia Flake, McClelland #24. Yarnspinner, 2003-11-29 (Knoxville Boards) Almost exclusively pure blends of Virginias, although there’s a wide variety of this type of leaf. Rattray’s Hal O’ The Wynd and Marlin Flake are popular ones.
