Mine was a little bitey right out of the tin, perhaps some drying will improve this. Overall, a well packaged quality tobacco.

Flake Medallions is a high quality VaPer with mostly lemon Virginias and its share of Perique. Somewhere I've read someone comparing it to PS Bullseye Flake, but all they have in common is the looks: FM is tastier, stronger and it's got a lot more Perique than BF.
In my VaPer ranking, this is a couple of steps below Escudo and above Bullseye Flake. Give it a try and decide for yourself.

A very nice change of pace from my usual favorites, both on the flavor and the presentation of the tobacco in disk form.
I have not tried another offering from Davidoff yet, but this one offers genuine VA taste combined with the occasional peppery spiciness of the Perique, which gives this mixture strenght. Once in a blue moon, the sweetnees of the black CA emerges.
High quality, nice disks, good smoke. Recommended.

My 50 gram tin was marked Davidoff and presented nicely formed disks ~ 2"D with a 1/2" core of the Black Cavendish that were a beauty to behold. Moisture content and packing were fine and the burn rate and lack of relights appreciated. I thought both the Perique and Black Cavendish were way in the background and found this blend to be slightly harsher than Stokkebye's Luxury Bullseye Flake which appears very similar in design. Since that tobacco is available in bulk @ lower unit cost and I enjoyed it more, that remains my pick.
