| I really enjoyed this tobacco. Virginia and perique gave a mild sweet taste. Just getting into pipe smoking, I was going to give up on it until I had this (this was my introduction to Virginias). I usually rate would I keep on hand, buy here and there, smoke it offered, or never smoke again. I will always have a tin of this on hand. Wife like the smell to.

| Great blend, surprisingly good too considering what I paid for the tin (next to nothing).
The main player here is the Virginia, with the perique a close second. Yes, the burley is noticeable, but it isn't at the front. Nice, grassy, mildly sweet VA and a very noticeable perique. I thing the amount of perique in this blend is perfect; enough to make my nose tingle and to give the blend backbone but not too much to make me queasy.
Great tin smell too; pungent sweetness that reminds me of ripe fruit.
I tend to like my Virginias with a touch (and I mean just a touch) of flavoring, but this is good.

| A very cool and slow burning flake with zero tongue-bite. I honestly don't have much experience with flakes at all, but I would defiantly recommend this one. I just had a bowl in a very modestly sized meerschaum, and it gave me a flavorful, satisfying smoke, lasting for more than an hour. I rubbed it almost completely out, but will try different rubbing methods in the future. (just for the sake of experience, it smoked wonderfully fully rubbed-out)

| Nicely prepared, mixed yellow to dark brown flakes ~ 1.75x2.5x1/16" with an ideal moisture content and grassy tin aroma. I didn't rub out thid blend just as I typically do with such pliable flakes like this and packing was quite easy and uniform. Smoked cool and without condensation or bite in various bowl sizes. Didn't get much of the Perique influence even towards the end of the bowl but the naturally sweet taste was enjoyable. I enjoyed this more than PS Luxury Twist Flake that I purchase in bulk but found it similar and don't know that the added expense is worth it. If you enjoy Va/Per flakes give this a try.
