The earthy, woody, bready, tangy ripe dark fruity red Virginia is the lead component. The flue-cured bright Virginias offer tart citrus and grass with a mild earthy dried fruitiness as a supporting player. The topping is hard to figure, but I get what I think is ginger spice, and maybe a drop of nougat and anise and/or plum, too. It's hard to tell for sure. I do know there's no perique in the mix as some suggest. The bright Virginia may also be partly or completely responsible for the mild spice. The strength is a couple of steps past the mild mark, while the taste is medium. The nic-hit is a rung below the strength threshold. Won’t bite or get harsh, and barely has any rough edges. The flavors remain consistent all the way to the finish. It burns slowly and requires relights, may need some dry time, and does leave some moisture in the bowl, but no dottle. Has a pleasant lightly lingering after taste and room note. An all day smoke.

One of the reviews compares this rubbed out flake to gingerbread, and that is not far from the mark. However, it takes some time to get there. I did not rub it out further, leaving it fairly chunky, smoking it in a well seasoned briar. After the charing light it needed additional matches to get it going. Once lit, the taste was mostly high, thin, and sharp. The Virginia and Perique tended to dominate biting my tongue. About mid-bowl it settles down and more of the gingerbread and deeper notes begin to emerge. At this stage, the smoke becomes more balanced and enjoyable. This flake has a top dressing, I am guessing rum.
I like this tobacco after it settles down, especially the gingerbread taste. It has the sweetness of Virginia and Perique. It burns cool without much relighting and did not leave my pipe with goop. The tobacco was high quality and a nice change from other flakes.

As with all the Wilke aromatics this is great. This is a spicy and yet sweet smoke akin to gingerbread cookies and the room note is the same. Wilke's seems to excel making great aromatic blends.
