| A high quality, broken Virginia flake with more body than most. Delightful aroma and good smoking qualities. Made for Barclay-Rex by McClelland.

| One of the best broken Virginia Flake tobaccos I have ever smoked. Deep and strong in flavor, there is an added touch of Vanilla that makes the taste a bit creamy despite its depth (I find that strong tobaccos usually are a bit harsh on the palate but not this one).
I do not know who makes this tobacco for Barklay Rex, and it has been several years since I last smoked it, but if they still have it I am going to order more.
Truly a delightful smoke for those who enjoy strength and lots of flavor that leans lightly on the sweet side.

| A great blend from Barclay-Rex! A very American Va.Flake with a true Vanilla essence applied and some Black cavendish pressed into the flake. The taste is Sweet/aromatic ,but in a more European sense. Not goopy! An excellent Choice for the Aromatic smoker who feels his Palate is maturing yet cannot jump feet first into true Virginia flakes or English Mixtures. It is also recommended for the English smoker who wants something sweet but deplores a return to aromatics. Very Pleasant tobacco.

| This is better than Tordenskjold Virginia Slices, yet costs less than half. Caveat emptor.
A well-made, partially-broken ["Scotch"] cake, Barclay Slice has more depth and variegation than your usual heavy flake. Yet it is on the hefty side. The taste is round but not syrupy, with a very lightly applied vanilla topping that actually tastes the bean.
This might be the most economical way of entering the world of Virginia flakes?you can actually buy just one ounce. It is quite representative of the whole genre. Recommended.
