Davidoff Flake Medallions

My favorite Davidoff blend, on par with Escudo and much sweeter than Luxury Bulls Eye, it has a wonderful lemonade/sparkling wine taste to it. Solid stuff for any VA flake lover.

My first Virginia?perique blend. Bought a 50g tin at my local tobacconist in Belgium for 12.20 Euros. The very high price is the only negative thing about this tobacco.

The tin says made in the EU. Upon opening I saw nicely stacked circular medallionswith a yellow and brown mottled hue and the black core. The tin aroma was very strong and sweet-sour, like a sweet vinegar. Th emoisture content was just right.

I smoked the medallions folded, but I now prefer to rub them out completely. Rubbed out the packing is very easy and it burns really cool and slow. It makes the softest light grey ash.

The taste is pleasant and clearly differs from plain Virginia, spicier. I notice little from the black Cavandish core, which could be omitted in my opinion.

An excellent, luxurious blend that is, unfortunately, highly priced.

A very well matured virginia, with a buttery unsweetened cavendish and a good amount of perique. Very well rounded, smooth, tastefull, easy on the tongue and with good burning qualities. A high class pipe tobacco, highly reccomended.

Very nice sweet virginia taste with spicy perique. Top vaper, I doubt if the cavendish really adds anything. While there's no question that this really is a first class smoke (imo), I still wonder if this tobacco is not the same als Luxury Bulls Eye flake of Peter Stokkebye. Blind tasting makes me tend to beleive that the tobacco's are identical. LBE is twice as cheap, compared to FM. On a German website I read that LBE and FM both are made by Orlic and that they are identical. Does someone know for sure?

This is a delicious Va/Per with Cavendish, the tobacco quality and the presentation is truly outstanding, the smoke tastes deep and smooth Virginia, not much spicy however with an incredible deepness, complexity and variation, not strong in nicotine but full in flavor, this one and Escudo N.D. are definitely the best Va/Per spun cacks out there, truly top quality Virginia! Exceptional Blend, Highly Recommended! Give it a try!

I have smoked several bowls in a meerschaum that I usually reserve for full english blends. I didn't rub it out, just took a medallion, rolled it and stuffed it in. Works out just great for a 7/8's bowl 1 1/2" deep. No tongue bite, which is new for me with a virgina/cavendish blend. Oldest son quit cigarettes and I've got him going on a couple of well broken-in corncobs. Will introduce him to Flake Medallions this weekend.

This bakie is something else...From the moment you open the tin you realise that you will enjoy a truly natural smoking experience and this is one of my great reasons for switching from cigarettes to pipes. I really enjoy it because is strong, so I get some nicotine and the taste is sweet (but not too sweet) due to the black Cavendish, perique appears more and more as you progress and the Virginia serves as the base. The quality is high the taste (very nice) is that of tobacco with no artificial, it does not bite and it smokes cool and dry. It leaves me with a dry mouth which is something I really like and generally this tobacco fulfils my expectations. I can smoke it for two hours once in a while and never feeling hungry for nicotine.

I highly recommend this bakie to everyone who wants a natural smoking experience with some nicotine
