Wessex Red Virginia Flake - I get some hay and citrus but more dark fruity tang and a little spice . Some toasty bread and a little cinnamon and a hint of vinegar . Moisture is perfect from the tin . This satisfies the Red Virginia craving . It is not Carolina Red Flake great but what is ? Good solid smoke it is . I like the Classic Virginia a little more . Wesexx does a great job with Virginias leaving a natural taste with extremely light toppings. 3 1/2

I bought this on a whim online and was not too sure what to make of it. I am glad I did. I am a fan of flakes and this one is yet another one I am glad to add to my collection. The tin I got was a couple years old and had a very nice note. A wee bit of sweetness and a wonderful nutty aroma. The initial smoke was mellow and smooth. It lit well, stayed lit and burned down to a powdery grey ash. I will most definitely buy this again.

This is a very good tobacco. But I liked the Brown Flake just a little bit more. It was a hard call but I thought the brown was just a bit more flavorful. If you like red virginia you'll like this one but if your just looking for a straight virginia flake go for the brown instead.

This is nice! This is the first all virginia which does not bite the tongue or pallet. The words I use to describe this fine tobacco are tangy dry sour with hints of grass and hay. Perfect! The smell in the tin is winelike and a hint of fermentation is also in the smoke. I recommend this to anyone just starting to smoke virginias because of the lack of bite. This is a great tobacco.

This is a light brown flake in a 50g tin, honey colored in overall appearance. The flakes are very thin, difficult to separate and can be a bit crumbly. The tobacco rubs out and packs easily, lights quickly and burns all the way to the bottom of the bowl with very little tending. Lordy, this is a good smoke. This is a lightly sweetened Red Virginia and I would classify it as a typical German made flake. The flavor is of a full, rich Red Virginia. The quality of the tobacco is exceptional. You get the distinctive Red Virginia tang right from the first puff. This tobacco has no bite for me, but it does have nicotine strength in the mouth and on the tongue. This is not a boring smoke as straight RV's can sometimes be. The RV flavor is extraordinary and gradually strengthens in nicotine and flavor as the smoke moves down the bowl. I have never smoked a better tasting RV. However, at $8.20 per 50g tin, I will not be smoking this everyday, but it will be one of those I always keep on hand for a special treat. Most highly recommended to the lover of Red Va. Paddy.
