HU Tobacco Old Fredder's Broken Flake
(3.93)
Old Fredder’s Broken Flake. Fred, affectionately called “Old Fredder“ by his friends, counts Virginia/Perique flakes among his greatest passions. Obviously, Old Fredder‘s Broken Flake is tailor made for him. A natural, wonderfully balanced Virginia/Perique broken flake that packs a punch, too. The rather tart red Virginia grades harmonize beautifully with the Louisiana perique I chose for this blend. The result is an unusually strong-flavored tobacco, complex in taste and off the mainstream. A blend that leaves no room for boredom. Just the right thing for Old Fredder, and for all smokers who like it strong-flavored and natural.

This is a lighter bodied Va than I typically prefer, but like all HU products, it is a very good one. The Vas have that typical hay like citrus sweetness that you would expect from these lighter vas and the perique is but a whisper IMO.
I recommend trying this as I do any HU tobaccos you can get your hand on, but if you have a choice and prefer a heavier bodied vaper such as I do, grab some Director's choice. Personally, I would be just as happy with some LNF or Old Gowrie to fill this niche for myself, but have friends are absolutely infatuated with this one.
It is in deference to HU and to them as this blend and its ilk are directly in their wheelhouse that I put a third star on my review. I would mark it as a two star to my tastes.
