Smell of caramel candy cookies, taste is a straight hayish virginia, with a hint of the candy topping. Nice cut, very good burning properties.

There are times when only a steak will do, and there are times when a salad is most satisfying. Curly Flake is like a salad:light but satisfying. After a bowl of Stonehaven or Marlin Flake or FVF it may taste of nothing, but on a fresh palate it registers the natural sweetness of virginia as the principal sensation. Not the most complex of tobaccos, it is not mono-chromatic either. Immaculately crafted, dry and slow burning, moderate in nicotine, Curly Flake earns no superlatives but nevertheless remains a pleasurable prelude to heavier stuff later in the day.

CURLY Flake NO32. APRIL 2004. Even though this flake is mild it still carries a delicious flavour of virginia.Nothing,nasty here at all. I enjoy this as it does not demand attention.Rubbing out really well though produces the full flavour.Also very good for pipesters who wish to move away from aromatics.Lights easily & highly enjoyable & smokes down to a very nice clean grey-white ash. If you you enjoy virginias or looking for a virginia that does not bite! Then definitely try this.Very pure,indeed.

Just as it is said a driver needs to check the rev counter to see that his Rolls Royce is running. A quick glance at the funnel end of the pipe is required to make sure this flake is still burning. This is the mildest pipe tobacco I have ever smoked and although it is obviously a well made flake and is nice enough to rub. The blandness to the point of boredom is the nature of this one. Good for tenderhooves.

A tobacco very similar in composition, strength and flavour to Orlick?s Golden Sliced. The difference is in the cut, and perhaps in that it doesn?t have that Burley component. These are very attractive flakes, cut in small squares, with varying tones of light brown tobacco. As all Larsen?s, the grades used in 32 Curly Flake are of the highest quality. It is easy to rub and pack, and lightening is not a problem. It produces a very mild, yet flavoursome smoke, long lasting and quite cool. If there is a casing or an added flavour, it is not apparent. For me, it is a good mid-afternoon smoke, that tastes great with Earl Grey or Orange Peacock tea. I?ve smoked it in a Peterson System and a Savinelli Milano with great results. Smokers of stronger Virginia flakes (Best Brown, Full Virginia, Light Flake or Marlin Flake), may perhaps find this a rather bland and unmemorable smoke. However, if just starting with a pipe or just wanting to try something on the lighter, smoother side, try this one. Not a bad experience.
