Barclay-Rex Barclay Slice
(3.30)
A balanced mixture of our smoothest and most refined light and dark Virginias, in a partially broken flake, for ease of filling, yet coarse enough to smoke outdoors.

BARCLAY REX – BARCLAY SLICE Straight Virginia, good quality, more natural than flavored. I mean the flavoring is extremely mild. I don’t actually find any dark Virginia, as stated, but only light Virginia. The cut is a broken flake very close to ready rubbed. Medium taste and mild to medium strength. The room note is acceptable. Overall, not great, but satisfying. Suitable for straight Virginia lovers. Available only at Barclay Rex in New York city. In my personal rating system (from 1 to 10) my score is 8 and three stars.

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

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.

A nutty, citrusy and sweet virginia blend. Doing well in any briar pipe. Good all day tobacco. From grassy and nutty at the beginning to creamy and woody at the end.
