Boy Iwan Ries really has a winner here in my opinion. I've smoked about a pound of this blend and whever I get low on it I find myself treating it like a top shelf blend that I use sparingly. But when I got a bunch It's everyday. However, IRC is easy to contact for more. This blend 's slices break up really nicely and doesn' need any drying before filling and lighting. Not too shabby for a roll and stuff method either. Slowly smoked IRC slices makes my mouth tingle slightly in a good way! A fantastic room note too, burns nicely all the way to the bottom. no complaints here and as you can see I AM a fan of this blend and it is in my rotation. No not rotation it's everyday a least a bowl or two.
This puppy gets a strong THREE stars.

I like this flake, as I do with most Virginia/Perique blends. This is a nice change from the heavier St. James Flake by Gawith. It burns cool to a white ash, does not bite, and is reasonably priced. The slices are thin and evenly cut which I liked when packing the pipe. Unlike the previous reviewer, I just lightly crumpled the flake, smoking it in a well seasoned small (group 3 or 4) bowel. The taste is very even from top to bottom, plummy and sweet. This is a nice tobacco - top shelf - and worthy of the IRC logo.
Follow-on: I filled an old (1975)Caminetto full bent (a size 6) sea coral with two slices lightly rubbed and it was as good as it gets - sublime. This is a wonderful tobacco priced right, next order will be for bulk quanity and it can age away.

I smoking this stuff more than 3 years. At the beginning, I didn't find something interesting here, but, after smoking 20-30g, just falled in love in it. Stright, bright and clear taste that does not changing a lot from the very beginning, till the end. The Perique is undistinguishable, only at the end of the pipe I can feel something like it. Nevertheless, the perique builds up the Taste. Without perique, this blend become the IRC Virginia blend. There is no bite here, a little moist in the pipe and VERY sutisfying smoke.
