Comparing Dunhill Flake to other fine Virginias, I would say it is nearly as good, but not quite. It is up there with other quality, straight Virginias (Blackwoods Flake, FVF), but kind of like the Nebraska Cornhuskers when they were in the Big 12, they just can't whoop Texas. There are moments that will bring "much happiness", but it doesn't leave me spellbound like FVF. It is satisfying, so I smoke this when I want a Virginia and nothing better is available. It has its character and that makes it better than Opening Night, which was flat to me.

This tobacco does seem to have changed! i always remember DF as a very straight and pure virginia and smoked a lot approx 10 years ago. This is my first tin and without wishing to jump to a premature conclusion: there seems to be a taste present that is unfamiliar - a sort of syrupy/sherbety tang that coats the mouth and pallete. Still a pleasant tobacco, but not as nutty and pure as i remember? maybe i need another tin for comparison.

I expected a little more taste with this one, but still a good mild to medium smoke. No bite. Smoked well outside even in the strong winds of southern Minnesota in early October.

Good, plain tobacco here. The tin note is fig newtons, dried cake and sugar. After leaving the tin open for several days it became more inviting. I used stuff and roll to load the pipe and once it was lit it was fairly well behaved with little bite. It probably could have used half an hour's drying time. The ease with which this flake lit and stayed burning with no dry time, and the fact that tongue irritation was minor (I could see it biting if it was pushed!) wins it major points.
The tobacco is somewhat grassy, lemony, and like burning hay. Very pleasant, somewhat sweet room note of just tobacco.
Definitely a well done virginia flake, but not nearly interesting enough to justify the price... Or maybe it is, it's better than orlik golden sliced in my opinion. I would recommend it as something to try for the straight va smoker.

A good Virginia, comes with the right moisture content and a nice flake. I just don't find this tobacco exciting or interesting and is very one dimensional. It's not real sweet ( actually it's salty) it burns well and doesn't bite (smoked in a cob). It reminds me of Orlik's Golden Sliced Red but without as heavy a citrus topping and a higher price. If I want a sweet Virginia I'd buy McB Virginia No.1, if I want a tangy Virginia , I'd buy McC 5100 Red Cake, If I want a strong complex Virginia it's FVF or Solani's 660 Silver. However , if I want Orlik's Red, I'll buy Orlik's red. This reminds me of a Peter Stokkebye product.

Based on previous reviews and my fondness of virginia tobaccos I just got seven tins of a tobacco I'm a bit disappointed in. Good quality, easy prep and behaves well but not terribly interesting -- a good all day smoke but doubt I'll order more.

High quality Virginia blen, composed of mostly bright leaf. Hayey and mildly sweet. It burns evenly and with no tongue bite, providing a pleasant smoke anytime of the day. Very nice, but not quite on a par with FVF, Cut Virginia Plug or IRC Flake.
