Hard to believe this hasn't been reviewed in 7 years! At any rate, this is a "paint can" 3.5 oz job of basic virginia flake in an LGF-like long bar that is wrapped in a circle inside the can. Tin aroma is sweet grasses and light citrus. The flake is mostly golden brown with specks of darker brown.
This is about as basic a VA flake as you can get. No top notes or casings, the lemon VA exhibits a nice grassiness with a fair bit of citrus. It resembles Orliks OGS in a way but nowhere near as citrusy. This is more laid back and "rootsy". A great all-day blend or a nice intro to virginias. It's a bit too relaxed overall for me but I could see this as a nice morning smoke. Interestingly, this one smote all attempts at DGT but at the same time, I could beat this one up a bit with some aggressive puffing and it refused to bite too hard or go sour. In fact, it became more interesting as a whole. I'd recommend this one to smokers who puff somewhat fast, but it seemed to emit most of its flavors at the usual slower pace. Not the most refined or most flavorful but certainly one of the best behaved straight virginias I've ever smoked. I'll pull this out of the cellar from time to time when I need to wind down.

It's tough to believe this blend isn't reviewed more or talked about more. I imagine selling it in 50g tins would help spread the love though - 100g can be considered more of a risk if you happen to not like it.
It's a very nice straight VA, a little mild, but definitely has great flavor. I recently purchased a tin of this along with Reiner 71 and have been alternating them frequently. It's a no nonsense VA, that burns easily and not too hot, that's absolutely worth trying out.
if you find that it's too mild, I might suggest smoking it in a fresh pipe, or cob, that hasn't potentially been ghosted.

This, like Reiner Long Golden Flake and other German flakes of this ilk, is a visually beautiful flake. Though mostly bright virginias, there are also slightly darker brown flecks also. It looks like what it is-- a very high quality German-made flake.
It's surprisingly mild when compared to a number of similar flakes from the same tradition (that K&K, Rudiger Will, Peter Heinrichs-- generally, that northern German school that centers on K&K). It's delightfully grassy (in a good way) with occasional citrusy notes. It's a fundimental virginia flake-- not dressed up with a honey top-note or Perique or dark-fired leaf, this is as classic as a Va flake can get.
It won't supplant some of my favorites as an all the time smoke, but I'll continue to revisit it. It doesn't have quite the heft that LGF or 633 have (two of my most regular smokes), let alone the Samuel Gawith or Gawith, Hoggarth and Co flakes which I also like. I find it pleasant as a morning smoke, before my taste buds can handle a heavier blend.
