This is an excellent flake tobacco. It is sweet, but not overly so. The tin aroma is very inviting. The first tastes are enjoyable and of wanting more. As it is smoked it brings on increased flavor, a bit of a nutty taste, it is crisp and very smooth all the way down to the bottom of the bowl. There is no bite and for a flake it is very easy on the stomach. This is a tobacco that can be smoked as often as you want without ever feeling overpowered. Highly recommended and worthy of its highly esteemed reputation.

Tin note: raisin. Smoke: a little musty, mildly sweet, significantly grassy. Maybe the slightest fruit and acidity further into the bowl. Pleasant, just not really enough here to satisfy my tastes.

what a neglected blend this is.....an excellent straight virginia flake. Whatever the slight added flavour is....its extremely mild. A bit of a citrus hit....but it might just be the virginias. This is a light virginia blend in terms of varietals -- and its only moderately stoved. But the balance is great and its smooth and cool. A wonderful long smoking and cool flake.
