update: going through my reviews here, i find that i'll have to downgrade a good deal of the praise i've given so many blends. 4 stars should, i feel, be reserved for the blends i find truly exceptional. so, this is downgraded a bit. end update.

a fine classical flake tobacco!

tin flavour belies the taste, as the first whiff is definitely floral. once you set fire to it, you'll taste first class aged virginia and some kentucky+burley - and very little additional flavour, imo. it certainly is rather similar in composition and raw tobacco treatment to st bruno, but a lot less "soapy", and with more of a sweet, deep, spicy and fragrant virginia taste. quite strong, too.

bulwark flake is a solid, old fashioned british tobacco - now, i gather, being made by gawith & hoggarth in stead of imperial.
