Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake
(2.88)
New description: A spicy, danish cake-mixture from Virginia and Kentucky, that'll also appeal to Latakia-smokers.
Aged cakes of red Virginia and fire-cured dark Kentucky tobaccos give this full- bodied, flavorful flake an unusually rich and naturally spicy taste. Not for neophytes, this one satisfies with old-fashioned deep taste. Good outdoors.

Presentation: Unabashedly simple. Something about it draws me to it. I have the 200g sized tin for this blend which does not come in the "paint can" tin. The top to this tin is akin to what would be on a G.L. Pease Blend.
Cut: Small, thin, neat flakes approximately 1.5 inches in length. Easy to rub out but upon rubbing out, it leaves a slightly sticky feeling on my fingers. Blend is a touch on the moist side.
Tin note: Has a creamy, dark fruity sweetness.
Tasting notes: On the draw it has a ketchupy sweetness, instantly after blowing out the smoke a spicebomb hits me. I love this but it might not be for everyone. This blend is spicy and will give your nose a tingle too! There a nice leathery note here and there as well. As the bowl progesses the sweetness goes away almost completely and a smokiness comes in. The spiciness stays consistent throughout. You will also find deep earthy notes here and there throughout the bowl.
Mechanics: It took me a while to get this blend evenly lit -- a minor annoyance but I'm sure with some dry time allowed it would light just fine. Takes a little effort keeping the blend lit.
Extra Remarks: Full flavor delicious blend. Not the most complex, but what it offers it does in spades. 4 stars.

Wonderful aroma in the jar - figgy plum-like with a touch of molasses. Folded flakes in the bowl of a medium-sized cob. Easy light and it takes off. Once settled in notes of licorice, molasses and citrus predominant a woodsy stable base. The middle of the bowl "sings" with excellent depth of a cherrywood flavor. Retrohale is an extremely pleasant spicy pepper note. Great when accompanied by french roast iced coffee with an added squirt of Black Cherry MIO.

...wow...saw some great reviews and they lived up to it....I've been searching for a great Va/bur or Virginia for that matter for quiet some time...although I love English blends I wanted to get that ripe fruit, plum and figue tast and sweetness that could last ,till the end of the bowl...I don't have the experience of many of the pipe smokers out there but I'm most certainly an epicurean and for that matter the aroma and tast has to deliver not just suggest or fade away .....I love the rich smell from the tin that translates into a beautiful round and at times lightly spicy sweetness.......beautiful roundness, cool smoke, plump chewy fruit notes.....finally some Virginia and burley I'll always be craving for....well done Peter

This is an exceptional tobacco. The Virginias are bright and the flake is constructed with contrasting layers of that and the dark Kentucky. The smoke is tangy. There's a spice - not a pepper but a baking spice like cinnamon or cloves - an earthiness and complex dark fruit sweetness with plum or prune, cherry and raisin notes. I particularly enjoy the retrohale, where I really get those fruits. Good body. Stronger in flavor than in nicotine. Dried a bit, it smokes well with minimal relighting and no tongue bite. Pairs well with tea or rum. Or just put the rum in the tea, it's all good.
