Solani 656: Aged Burley Flake

Coming from a new pipesmoker trying to find blends that deliver in tobacco taste, this one delivers. I recently came away from straight virginias disappointed in their mild taste profile. I liked latakia blends and was searching for something else to bring it. This definetly did but not in an overwhelming way. I will definetly have this on hand at all time. Very nice nutty natural pleasant full flavor.

Fabulous Smoke! Extremely pleasant! A little high on the nicotine for what I was expecting. Got me dizzy :), but I was still very happy about it. No dottle. Loved it! Next time I will be ready.

Delicious Straight Burley , nutty and with a light sweet and cocoa taste, this one is fantastic!!!

When I opened the tin, the darker aromas, such as chocolate, coffee,nuts....very earthy sweet smell. The first bowl i packed was a fold and stuff , very smooth and sweet. Then i tried it rubbed and it was not very impressive after about a week of letting it sit in the can, it was heaven at every puff. Tastes good and smooth, no tongue bite, sweet. If there really si nothing added to this one then its deserves its merit. Definietly will be buying more eventually to age to smoke.

A delicious all around smoke. Woodsy, nutty notes.

656 Aged Burley Flake! This was the tobacco with which I had my first uber zen pipe experience. The tin nose is an inviting aroma of chocolates, raisin and bread. From the first puff, whoa momma, 656 grabs you right away. It's full bodied, dark and nutty, with notes of buttery toast, coffee and molasses. At the end of each puff there is a sweet little cocoa note that pairs beautifully with the burley. It's a wonderfully behaved tobacco, each and every draw has the same wonderful flavor profile. It burns cool with no bite, harsh edges, fuss or relights. Moderate in nicotine with loads of exquisite smoke. 656 is delightful, you transport from the first puffs to a zen smile on your face. Hands down this is one of my favorite tobaccos.

Burns great, no bite. As good as Solani Silver Flake. Another one I'll buy again.

Solani´s burley flake is a blend for the pipe smoker connoisseur. I do not consider myself a flake fan, but I keep finding some of the very best blends to come as flakes (Astley´s 109, Peter Stokkebye´s Luxury Twist Flake, and Peterson´s University Flake). This burley flake now joins the list.

Upon opening the tin, you will find beautiful flakes that will give you a pleasant aroma: bread, raisins, brown sugar, even a hint of sawdust. The rubbing part can be tricky as it may come just a little too humid. I found my flakes to feel somehow sticky, which was new to me, but I didnt find it interfering with my smoking.

This tobacco can be lighted easily. Provides a full smoke, rising the pure burley to its splendor. You can feel its unadulterd sweetness while enjoying a high quality tobacco taste. Sensational wood notes are sense along with just a hint of orange as in a zesty mixture.

I am looking forward to keep a couple in my cellar to see how they age. Man, even the tin is outstanding!

The tobacco can burn easily, and after the first trains developed a rather unusual tangy-sweet flavor. This is rather unusual for Virginia lovers taste from first to last whistle of the train continued without having to change fundamentally. The taste reminds most of the smell of pure unsweetened cocoa. The Burley has, contrary to many descriptions, but a very distinct taste and plenty of power. Unlike good Virginia tobacco, the taste is not very nuanced, it is earthy, tart-sweet.

So I like the Aged Burley Flake honest with his earthy charm. We know each whistle what to expect. Not in the morning and not at noon, but at night you will ever seen a tobacco with oomph of calls and still not enough tension holds. Those looking for that is operated well with the Aged Burley. Who is lively, elegant taste, the pleasure of looking hands off the tobacco.
