Peterson University Flake
(2.98)
Peterson's University Flake features a traditional mix of Virginia and Burley tobaccos that are slowly pressed for days into cakes of tobacco and then sliced into delicate flakes. A subtle plum flavor further enhances this remarkable blend.
Notes: Originally manufactured in Ireland by Murray, it is currently blended in Denmark by Scandinavian Tobacco Group.

I found this to be quite a pleasant smoke, if a little on the strong side (but nowhere near as strong as Irish Flake). The tobacco seems of good quality, is easy to light and burns nicely with rich earthy flavors. The plum flavoring was barely noticeable, if at all. This is a decent strong tobacco for the occasional smoke, but not one that I would smoke regularly, but it may grow on me..
Edit: This is not going to grow on me. I now realise, the reason; I can't seem to get on with Burley tobacco...

First experience: 5/5 , but later bowls 2/5
Pros: full of vitamin N, smooth and slow burn. Not really flavorful just as everyone has mentioned almost a not noticeable fruit taste (just the right amount)
Cons: every time has left me nauseous to my stomach particularly if on empty stomach and if you don't start it with matches.
Overall, my first tin is done and as much as I wanted this to be my favorite, the search will continue. If I could replicate my first bowl of this tobacco it would have definitely been my favorite. I might come back later in time to give it another chance.

Peterson UF .. Could be a tasty tobacco in spite of it topping, for some, but in my opinion the hard work of keeping this stuff lit and it's rather oh-hum casting makes this stuff not worth the afford. And for it cost, I believe you can do better. What it takes to get a adequate volume of smoke is puffing, leaving me with a scorched mouth feel and what feels like nausea from nicotine OD or some foul chemical, I know I'm in the minority with this, but that is my experience, and in this case, not a good one. Like I said. there are many others to choose from, many with far better manners. It's your dime.

I tend not to like flake tobaccos and University Flake is one reason why. Rubbing the correct amount is difficult, and the tobacco tends to burn somewhat hot. I must agree with other reviewers that University Flake is a burley blend, not a virginia blend.
Although I've heard a lot of praise for this blend from other pipe smokers, I find it is full without being flavourful and is overall too "aggressive" and bitter for my taste.
