A very nice and gentle Virginia flake that has a little strength and a lot of flavor.
I have friends who smoke multiple bowls a day and have said that light Virginia leaf is their favorite because their palate does not get overwhelmed and their tongue remains intact. I think this is a perfect tobacco for them. I don't think I've ever tasted a light Virginia Flake that was loaded up with some much flavor.
Still, it is class weed and the tin art is wonderful.

This Virginnia Flake beats most of the others only by virtue of the nice smell it leaves on the clothes. Otherwise I find it tastes very similar to Dunhill Light Flake which is also very good. I just fold a flake until it is well broken. Smoked in a small to medium apple it is very tasty indeed. There is a slight sharp tang to it which I like. Not sure if it is due to a small amount of Perique as others have commented in previous reviews or the slight flavoring it may include. A very tasty and satisfying smoke. My tin required no drying or other measures. Just fold, pack, and puff!
Update: 11/26/2004 I bought some of this at Paul's Cigars in Portland, Oregon on a walk-in purchase. It was a little spendy at $8.95 for 50 gms. but it is only place in the U.S. I have ever found it. I have not found it on the internet either.(in the U.S.)
