A great tobacco in my opinion. I just love the character this one has. It definitely benefits from sipping as you'll get the more delicate flavours and the sweetness showing well. It's a great thing to have in your pipe while you can watch the time just roll away. Better still you can just forget about time entirely and enjoy your smoke.

A very serviceable middle-of-the-road virginia flake from Brigham. Costwise, it is a bit of bargain in Canada, but is not inexpensive, compared to Stateside offerings. The flakes are longish strips, and smell of lemon and hay. The tobacco burns slowly and rewards sipping, rather than tugging. The flavour can dissipate on a hot day, so it seems better suited to slower evening puffing. No bite and pleasant, if a bit pedestrian. Would make a nice introduction to the fascinating world of virginia flakes, but still offers up enough interest to arrest the attentions of veteran pipers. I plan to buy some more.

Inexpensive by Canadian standards. Real tobacco taste, with variations from cigarette to classic Virginia taste. I tried it today, a cold Canadian winter day and it burns and smokes fine. Tobacco was folded in a briar/ meer pipe, no bite, just one relight.

Given the ubiquity of Brigham products here in Canada, I'm surprised there are so few reviews on this site. They make wonderful pipes, but their tobacco blends can be kinda hit-or-miss. Virginias make up about 80% of my rotation, and I like this one because it's cheap and easy to find. In the bag (which, to my dismay, was unsealed, although its contents were moist enough) it has that signature Brigham cheap-cherry smell. I can't tell if it's a very mild casing or just a feature of their tobacco. Either way, it doesn't come through in the flavour of the smoke. It lights easily, and burns well for a virginia. It does get quite hot, so I find it necessary to take a couple of little breaks to let the pipe cool down. The flavour lands somewhere between Blackwoods Flake and Player's light. I don't think the notes are clear enough to be described as a "diverse complexity." The lows, mids, and highs get a little muddy once one gets into the bowl, and the campfire-ish astringence characteristic of Canadian tobacco products (and Dunhill, oddly enough) looms in the background. Perhaps I'm foaming at the mouth a little bit. This is an enjoyable, flavourful smoke and a respectable effort in a land where people pay $40 for a can of hay and then roll it in their own seperately bought Rayo tubes. Also, it's 33% cheaper than any other pure virginia flake on the market in these parts, and one doesn't have to play around with keeping it lit. I will conclude this review with a call for Canadian pipe smokers to show a little homegrown pride and post some Brigham reviews. I'm sure Mac Baren and Frog Morton are sitting in the counting house right now laughing at all of us hillbilly poseurs.
