This is one of the best Virginia flakes I’ve come across. It has a slight maltiness, a hint of sweetness, and a clean, pure Virginia flavor that remains consistent until the last puff.It has delivered a great smoke every time and has never let me down. I like to rub it out and let it dry properly before smoking. I’ve found it works best in a small, narrow pipe, but it has smoked well in everything I’ve tried. It also stays lit nicely. The tin note really shines through during the smoke, which I love. I’ll definitely be buying more to keep in my rotation. The Yellow tin is fantastic too, but has its own character. You can’t go wrong with either, though this one is my personal favorite. It’s the kind of blend that an experienced pipe smoker can appreciate repeatedly, while a newer smoker can also enjoy without much hassle.
