This is my favorite Virginia flake, followed closely by FVF.
I usually prepare this flake by folding it and cutting it into small cubes, then packing it loosely. It seems to burn better for me this way, versus the fold and tuck methods which necessitates frequent relights.
I like the honest, straight tobacco taste. It burns cooly, and a bowl lasts a long time. As other reviewers have noted, a little drying time is rewarded in a better burning mixture.
Usually easy to find in stores and on line.
Currently, my favorite Dunhill tobacco. Highly Recommended.

Dunhill flake...lovely flakes of pure Virginia tobacco. Smokes very well with a lovely sweet flavour. I used to love Benson and Hedges OVF but alas this is no longer available...this is a good substitute. Interestingly this flake tastes to me identical to Richmond flake which I purchased in Germany (only available there I am led to believe?)

Definitely an A list tobacco. I prepare one half of a flake for the type of pipe I want to enjoy. For a 3/4 by 1 1/4 or so deep bowl, I fold the half flake twice against the grain and stuff into the pipe with the grain parallel to the rim. For wider bowls I'll start the same but rub it between my palms to make a ball to stuff into the pipe. The charring light is a bit harsh, but the next light tones down to a crisp, smooth, and sweet smoke. If they fuel the fires of hell with this one I'll be in heaven!

This has to be one of Dunhill's classics. If you love the taste of tobacco and like the less aromatic blends you should definitely try it. The tobacco has a subtle hint of pineapple and honey. It has a medium to strong strength and the flavor is very mild. The room note is tolerable and tends to give a hint of cigarette tobacco and cigars. I highly recommend it.

An all around quality VA. Of quality, I would put it above Orlik Golden Sliced and below SG Full Virginia Flake. It is very smooth, and aged to perfect natural sweetness. I seem to get a hint of ginger bread cookie in the finish, but not in an aromatic way.

The beauty of the (almost) pure VA in Dunhill Flake convinced me, once and for all, that tobacco is one of the great gifts given to mankind. It's up to us to use it wisely. This realisation rid me of any guilt associated with being a smoker, along with any desire to stop. It might have the same effect on you, so proceed with caution...

This is a quality VA flake. It is topped with something. I cannot quite put my finger on it. I wish someone would. Whatever it is, in my opinion instead of complementing the VA's it actually seems to mute their flavors. It is a good flake to be sure sweet and at times very sweet, perhaps it is simply a sweeter that is added? In any case I think this takes away more than it adds. I would recommend this to anyone starting out looking for a good VA, I simply prefer others.

After decades of pipe smoking I am embarrassed to admit that this is my first straight VA flake. Heavy English/Oriental blends are my usual smokes with VaPers (ribbon cut, flakes, krumble kakes, spun coins...all really) being an occasional bowl.
I pretty much am saving time and verbage and will just say Jallen49 below pretty much nailed my impressions of this one.
