Player's Navy Cut Flake
(3.35)
One of John Players classic blends, a beautiful flake comprised of Virginia and burley. Cold pressed with a smidgen of rum into an eye catching flake of brown with golden highlights. A very fragrant smoke with a wonderful citrus and grassy aroma. Not overly strong but very smooth and cool to smoke.
Notes: Trivia: Reputed to be one of author J.R.R.Tolkien's favorites.

Some brief impressions after smoking my first bowl
Pouch aroma: Raisins and stewed figs with a slightly alcoholic edge, yummy.
Smoke: Just lots of sweet virginia goodness, a good one for sipping.
Burning qualities: Rubbed out 1 flake fully and packed 3/4 of it into a Missouri Meerschaum legend, this provided a 45+ minute smoke(!), never got bitter or harsh unless pushed. Very good.

A very easy flake, easy to rub and pack and easy to smoke. It could be a good introduction to the world of flakes if it wasn't for its habit to bite the tongue. If smoked slowly it gives nice satisfactions and a good complexity.
