Savinelli Brunello Flake
(3.24)
An impeccably structured blend. Featuring a foundation of sweet, tangy Virginias and cool burning burleys, a dash of Macedonian leaf is added to round out the mixture and add a hint of the exotic. The different leafs are then aged as one, in order to marry and harmonize flavor, prior to being pressed into a tantalizing flake.

I think Jimlnks and Greggles descriptions of this tobacco are right on. But I disagree with JimLnks review on only one aspect - in the last sentence of his review. I found this blend bites like a hot, wet, mutha-f#@%ing bi-atch!!
Even after significant drying time out of the tin. Maybe it's cuz I didn't rub it out enough first? Or maybe because it was a very hot, humid evening in Toronto. Either way, it bit the heck outta my mouth and tongue (even with a balsa filter, and got very moist at the bottom of the bowl. Retrohale is very nice though...
Next time I try to smoke this blend, I will wait until the dry winter months here in mid January, and crumble the flake completely first before packing it. Hope that will reduce the moisture, heat and bite.

Savinelli Brunello Flake - Looking at the tobaccos in this blend of Virginias, Burley and Oriental I thought I would get a sweet ,nutty , earthy and a little sour smoke . What I get is a sweet , creamy , buttery , honey flavored tobacco from the topping . Mac Baren’s HH line is top notch but this blend is too smooth for me ! I need more tobacco flavor and less topping . It seems there is barely any burley or oriental leaf in this blend or the toppings cover them up . I expected more variety from the description as advertised. It burns well and doesn’t bite on the positive. 2
