I usually break all of my flake blends, this one I did too. An amazing experience of Virginia tobacco with a brilliant caramel taste. I smoked the 6-month aged one and the fresh one. What I would say is aging over a small-time improves subtle caramel taste a lot! If Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Twist Flake is somehow leaving some damp residual behind and too moist, give a shot to this blend.

Fascinating stuff. Comes packed as 4 long flakes totaling 100 grams - that's 25 grams a flake! - in a double-bag from SP. When I received it, I immediately cut the flakes to 1/4 length and jarred them. A medium thickness brown flake with a caramel tin note (bag note?) that rubs out easily and also takes wekk to fold-and-stuff, separating a bit while folded. Takes a few tries to light, then burns well.

The flavor is Virginia reminiscent of SG Best Brown Flake, with the addition of a really noticeable sweet caramel. This stuff is SWEET. The sweetness is so powerful I can pick out many different sweet notes - caramel, honey, apples, apricots, sweet cream, even a bit of unexpected chocolate. There's also Virginia grass and a bit of a pine note that comes and goes. This smoke is a dessert. At the same time, the sweetness doesn't taste "artificial" as with aros, and isn't bogged down by aro goop. The body and mouthfeel are very creamy.

This is a great tobacco for anybody looking for sweetness without losing quality or complexity. I'm surprised it doesn't get more attention.
